Alerting

How to mask a URL in a Splunk alert email body

I am providing a search string in an alert email body.
I want to mask this search string instead of showing the contents of it.

How can we do it?

$result.your_desire_url$ works fine.
but $idx$ does not work.
Is there any problem with the eval result of a normal search?

This is my alert search string : index=_internal source=license_usage.log type="Usage" idx=""
|stats sum(b) as vol by idx | eval gb=round(vol/1073741824,2)
|where gb>=0.3

This I want it in email body : The alert condition for '$name$' was triggered.

https://splunk.google.com/licensedashboard?form.field1.earliest=%40d&form.field1.latest=now&form.ix=...

Last URL I want to mask it and call it as Splunk Index or something instead of showing its contents.
