Is there a way to replace all hyperlinks in a buffer with some shorthand phrase say “link” while keeping them as clickable links to their respective site?

I’ve been importing csv files as tables and one of the columns stores links but they’re quite long and making things awkward looking so I’d like to replace them with some shorthand.

Sorry, probably a noob question, still new.
