I tested this behavior on 23.05 and two test sites for 23.11.

To replicate:

1. Check the default framework and ensure the 856$u is visible in the OPAC and
Staff Interface. Ensure the URL box is checked.
2. Find a record in the default framework.
3. Add a link like https://www.google.com to the 856$u and Google to the 856$y
4. View the record in the record detail view and the OPAC. Click the link to
make sure it works.
5. Now edit the default framework and uncheck the box for OPAC visibility.
Leave all other settings as is.
6. Look at the record in the OPAC again and see that the Online Resource and
link is still showing. Click on the link and see that it returns an error page.
7. Look at the record in the Staff interface and click on the link and see it
is successful.
8. Edit the default framework again. Uncheck the box for Staff visibility and
check the box for URL.
9. Click on the URL in the Staff Interface and the link works.
10. Edit the default framework and leave the visibility for the Staff Interface
unchecked and uncheck the box for URL.
11. Test the link again in the staff interface and see the link is visible and
works.

A combination of checking/unchecking visibility boxes and the URL box seems to
result in inconsistent behavior. Disabling the URL sometimes returns an error
page, sometimes does not. Most concerning is the visibility, which is being
completely ignored. In some cases, it is preferable to hide the URL in the OPAC
and still have it visible in the Staff Interface with a working link.

There are two current work arounds:

1. Disable the URL so that the link returns an error (though one could hover
over the link and see what it is) which doesn't work consistently.
2. Removing the URL from the record seems to be the only way to not display the
URL in the OPAC, but that also removes it from the staff interface.

I would expect the 856$u to not be visible if the OPAC or Staff visibility was
unchecked.
