if you are looking to extract it it can be done in the "extract" action. just set the 'kind' as 'body' and the 'property' as 'url'

For whatever reason, this doesnt seem to work for me. I also woul dlike a column with the urls of the page being extracted listed but whenever I choose to extract the url of the body I get blank column. Any idea whats happening?
