Just adding to this, the motivation for this feature depends on ✨ Expose URL alias fields to views Needs work . We are generating a CSV of path aliases and would to see the absolute URL in the output.

Adding it to that handler would make this only available in base fields. Since most fields would be fields added through the UI, shouldn't the option be there? Or in both?
We have the option on the EntityLink handler, so trying for some feature parity might not be bad. But I'm always weary of adding more checkobxes to the already way too full Views UI

The use case we're currently looking for is for base fields on path alias entities. Link fields added through the UI, as opposed to URL base fields, use the "field" plugin (
\Drupal\views\Plugin\views\field\EntityField) to render a field using a formatter. We would need to add this option to the formatter rather than the views field plugin. I think we can limit the scope of this issue to just URL base fields.We have the option on the EntityLink handler, so trying for some feature parity might not be bad.

I looked at this first, but not sure it lends itself well to reuse.
