In Sharepoint Designer, you can edit the reading list and go to the field, so that, for example, if you have a field with the name URL, display it as a shortcut so that it looks like
<asp:Label runat="server" id="ff1{$ID}" text="{$thisNode/@URL}" />
Then all you have to do is add the βA hrefβ tag to it, which will display as a URL such as
<a href="{$thisNode/@URL}"><asp:Label runat="server" id="ff1{$ID}" text="{$thisNode/@URL}" /></a>
