Default Mail Merge URL - a unique question

Hi,

I have been looking everywhere for an answer for this, but found none....
I hope you guys can help me:

I would like to create a working mail merge url BUT to keep the text displayed as the actual custom generated url.

I'll elaborate:
Today if I want to create a working url that changes according to recipient I have to wrap it with a hyper link field that displays a text, for example the code is:
{HYPERLINK http://www.example.com/id={MERGEFIELD id} \*MERGEFORMAT}
and I need to write a text to be displayed, usually "click here"

I would like the text that is displayed to be
http://www.example.com/id={MERGEFIELD id}
for example
http://www.example.com/id=3

Needless to say that if I get rid of the:{HYPERLINK \*MERGEFORMAT}
the URL is not generated correctly i.e just the "http://www.example.com/id=" is a functioning URL and the actual value for ID (for example 3) is a text, this causes the user to reach an error page when clicked.

Any help??
