extract url from hyperlink
Is there a way to extract the URL from hyperlinked text? I'd like to use a formula referenced to hyperlinked cells to get the URL, if possible.

I haven't found a way to extract URLs via formula.
But if you are on a Mac you can extract them with this Extract URLs for Selected Cells Automator Service (Dropbox download).
To install the service, double-click the downloaded .workflow package and if necessary give permission at System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Also make sure 'Automator.app' is listed and checked at System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
To use the service, simply select the cells with the hyperlinks and choose 'Extract URLS for Selected Cells' from the Numbers > Services menu. Then click in the upper cell of the range where you want the urls to be listed and command-v to paste.
If you want to remove the service from your Mac, in Finder hold down the option key and Go > Library > Services and delete the way you would any other Finder item.
