I don't understand what you want do do. The macro seems to work fine. You say you're trying to transclude a value from somewhere, but I don't see anywhere that you attempt transclusion.
If you're trying to pull in the *contents* of the external web site ... I'm not sure if that will work. You might try setting up an iframe instead of an anchor tag sourced from the external site. This iframe seems to work though it needs to be tweaked for usability: Frame: <iframe src=<<path>> ></iframe> Good luck!
