Can I set it up to only display the Name field?

Yes, that is what I had done as well. But this makes me think that
the URL as supported by LyX is useless. Not just because of the
e-mail, but cross references as well.
I want to have arbitrary links in my document. So for example, I
might have somewhere in my document 'see the section on blah', and
blah would be linked to that section. When I use Label & Reference,
it kinda works, but inserts a number at the reference. I want the
text to be the link. I can do this using the hyperref module.
So am I not understanding something?
Perhaps. The url.sty package isn't intended for the sort of use for
which you are trying to use it. Its purpose is to allow you to use URLs
in a document without running into line-break problems, the issue being
that URLs can be (i) long and (ii) spaceless. Indeed, the documentation
describes the \url command as simply a special form of \verb. So, all of
that said, hyperref is indeed what you need here and, at present, LyX
has no special support for it.
