How to control the package URL used in PR

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

AWS EKS, Helm Chart version 40.36.8

Please tell us more about your question or problem

I have a renovate configuration that is using a custom regex manager, and the docker datasource to update dependencies.

One of the dependencies is from a private docker registry (AWS ECR): 1234567890.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/python-utilities

Renovate is detecting that this is python, which is (mostly) correct, but in the PR it's linking to the official dockerhub repository, which is not.

| Package | Update | Change |
|---|---|---|
| [metrics](https://hub.docker.com/_/python) | patch | `3.13.3-4` -> `3.13.4-0` |

I'd like to either remove the link entirely, or replace it with my own.

Using packageRules I've found I can set both sourceUrl and changelogUrl, but these are just added in brackets to the right of the package name.

Any suggestions here?

Simplified example of the renovate config.
