wpbetheme789 on "How to use shortcode where URL is expected"

$

Hello,
for my design it is more complaisant to use shortcodes instead
of url because the shortcode provides some additional formatting.

Example:
When you like to have a shortcode resolved by a main menu item,
this seems not to be possible and also plugins are not really working
(in my case).

When you like to add a RSS feed to sidebar, only an URL is accepted,
not a shortcode which could implement this RSS more convenient.

(To be able to use shortcodes where ever URL is accepted would be a nice
standard feature for next WP release. If you can't extract url from shortcode -> 404).

My question:
Is there a general workaround to use shortcodes in URL fields, like functions handle this ?
Thank you
