Shortcode in 'link' field

Hi,

Is there a way to get a shortcode working in the link field of the widget?

I have my site on a temporary domain, so it looks something like https://12.23.34.456/mydomain.co.uk/

When i put a page name in the link field it just goes to https://page-name, if i put a slash in front of the page name it goes to https://12.23.34.456/page-name

I’ve tried using add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’); but i guess this only works for a text widget. Is there something that would work for the image widget so that i don’t have to put the absolute url in every link, thus having to change it when i make the site live?

Thanks in advance.
