I'm always terrible at giving enough information and I apologize. After
some thinking about it, I finally figured out a way to do it. I put the map
link in a field named maplink and then put {{!!maplink}} in the appropriate
area of the infobox table. Works like a charm. Whether you directly solve
my issue or not, you always get me thinking in the right direction for
which I thank you. Highest regards, sir.
