As I understand it, addURL() is meant to be called from an subclassed
method of the buildstep at runtime, rather than at configuration time.

For instance, I use a variation of the following code:

class CopyTarball(shell.ShellCommand):
    name='copy'
    description=['copying tarball']
    descriptionDone=['copied tarball']

    def createSummary(self, log):
        shell.ShellCommand.createSummary(self, log)
        if self.getProperty("tarball"):
            url = ...
            self.addURL("tarball", url)

In this case, the createSummary() function extracts the URL from the build log.
