When using the Link function in Blippa, it might be useful to send some parameter to the link target. This is possible by just using this syntax in the link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/$var:street$+$var:street_no$,+$var:post_code$+$var:city$ (Note: In this case, the Blippa object must have a variables named street, street_no, post_code and city). Sweden, use: https://www.google.com/maps/place/$var:gata$+$var:gatunummer$,+$var:postnummer$+$var:ort$
