The URL property is not an arbitrary URL. It's the URL of the event itself. From the spec: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.8.4.6

This property may be used in a calendar component to convey a location where a more dynamic rendition of the calendar information associated with the calendar component can be found.

If you want to associate a URL with the event, you'll have to put it in the description or location or in an X-property.

The specification describes the URL property in general terms. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.8.4.6

I suggest check the various meeting scheduling tools and go with that. Arguably the meeting URL is the 'location'. For example ZOOM uses the LOCATION property. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.8.1.7 EG

LOCATION:https://us04web.zoom.us/j/72974416824?pwd=N2ZNVzJxejR6a1p3TWFSU1U1
 eUZwQT09

But then ZOOM also puts html in the DESCRIPTION which is not supported by all applications and not addressed by the specification.

Unfortunately the the DESCRIPTION section is intended to be plain text, so it is not intended to have html url hyperlink. (See the RFC5545 specification)
