Display Redirect URL instead of actual asset URL on page

[akhilesh_gupta]

I have set the redirect url property for an asset. Now when I author that asset on a page as a CTA or HREF, I want the page to show the redirect url value on hover of the link instead of the asset url authored.

I was reading through Apache Output Rewriting Pipelines as an prospective solution but I am finding very limited resources on it to understand the entire workflow and use case.

Need your help understand the best solution in this case.

@akhilesh_gupta - 

How have you set the redirect url property for an asset?

If you are only concerned about displaying the redirect URL on hover of the image,  You can implement client-side scripting, such as JavaScript/CSS, to display the redirect URL value as a tooltip or on hover of the CTA or HREF element.

The redirect url is present in the "metadata" of the asset. Moreover I am concerned about displaying the redirect url on hovering over a link in the page.

You can build a custom transformer. Just like LinkRewriter, you can build your own rewriter that can replace all links with your custom logic. And for paths starting with /content/dam, write a logic to retrieve redirect url from metadata and replace the url with it.

Hope this helps.
