I'm using hyperref and BibLaTeX's verbose style, and would like for bibliography entries and initial (but not subsequent) citations, instead of printing out a URL, to use the URL to make the titles of entries and citations into external hyperlinks. Is there a way to do this?
I see how I might get part way there, in the bibliography, but I'm not sure how to get what I'm looking for in the initial citations as well.

\subsection*{Some initial citations}
This\citep{9780691122946} is an initial citation, which in verbose style, it has no hyperlink and I've customized the style to omit the URL in the citation, though not in the bibliographic entry. Here's another,\citep{9780226458083} and here\citep{9781903436837,9780765303615,9780691122946} are some additional ones for good measure.
I'd like the titles for these to link externally, using the URL field from the \texttt{.bib} entry (using the DOI instead of there's no URL there).
\subsection*{Something to take up some space to demonstrate internal linking}
\lipsum[1]\lipsum[2]\lipsum[3]\lipsum[4]
\subsection*{Some subsequent citations, showing back links}
This\citep{9780691122946} is a subsequent citation, which hyperlinks back to the first corresponding citation.
So are these.\citep{9780226458083, 9781903436837,9780765303615,9780691122946}.
These work as I want them to.

\AtEveryCite{\DeclareFieldAlias{linked}{default}}. You'll probably want to omit the fix for multiple URLs because that use of theurlfield is non-standard. BTW: If this answers your question, I can make an edit about that so we can close this post as a duplicate. – Audrey Mar 26 '12 at 23:07titleformat definition.) – orome Mar 27 '12 at 0:06urloption isn't settable on a per-entry basis. lockstep posted a workaround here. I think we've discussed how to print the URL on its own line already elsewhere. – Audrey Mar 27 '12 at 1:31
