How to create a hyperlink with "friendly text" without using formula fields?

We are using Shield Platform Encryption...
And we need to encrypt the content of some formula fields.(Formula fields can not be encrypted)
To solve it. It is necessary; Create a new field of some other type (Text / URL), and the functionality migrate it to a Workflow / ProcessBuilder / Trigger.
We cannot use Workflows because the "HYPERLINK" function does not exist there.
We did the test by creating a field type "TEXT" and a field type "URL" That are updated by a process builder.

* The first problem is that it returns a concatenation of the url + the friendly text + additional words:   “_HL_ENCODED_www.example.com_HL_friendly Text_HL__blank_HL_Undo”
* For a field of type "TEXT" we cannot click on the hyperlink. (because it is plain text).
User-added image*For the URL field the full address is shown, you cannot put a friendly text. (besides the extra words that the process builder puts.)

We need a solution to have a link but with a friendly text, without using formula fields or lighning compones / VFP.
Any ideas?
