Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider custom codes, for example:
Create a custom metabox, and setup the button as what you want:

It would be possible at least to get a clickable link in one Toolset custom field?

As I mentioned above, there isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset Types plugin.
See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/types-api-filters/
No existed filter/action hooks to add a button as your request.

So it needs custom codes, you might consider to create a custom metabox, see my first answer above.

To get the custom field value, you can try WP function get_post_meta(), see WP document:
