I created a view with a page url.
I would like to add a viewfield to my content type.
But instead of rendering the view, I would like to render the url of the page.
I would like to be able to pass in the URL argument.

Use case:
I am using views_ical to create an ical ics file.
If I change the page url I would like the event content type to recognize it automatically via the viewfield

Given the ease in adding your own field formatters in Drupal 8, I'm going to recommend that you implement this in either a custom module, or a related contrib module. There are a lot of different display formatters that don't provide a route to view the results. To me, that makes it problematic to provide a formatter in the standard module that would only function properly with page displays.

If you do create a extensions module with a formatter for this, please let me know and I'll be happy to link to it on the project page.
