You can use javascript to validate if the value is an URL

function checkURL(value) {
  var urlregex = new RegExp(
        "^(http:\/\/www.|https:\/\/www.|ftp:\/\/www.|www.){1}([0-9A-Za-z]+\.)");
  if(urlregex.test(value))
  {
    return(true);
  }
  return(false);
}

 You could then use different div's to display if the value is URL
