Get Link to Taxonomy term url as string in Views [#2838020]

The Link to Taxonomy term field outputs a link to the term. However, you cannot configure it to output the url as a string - only as an <a> tag. This prevents you from doing other manipulations on the string in the views UI.

To elaborate further - you can't use replacement patterns in the text to display config. Adding that here would be a great improvement.

Another way I might want to use this field is to get the raw url so I can use it elsewhere. For example, I want to add an anchor link to the url that comes from another field on the node. If I could get the url as a string, it would be easy to modify the output and add the anchor.
