Yes, we do this with our browser-based applications as we promote through our different environments. When modelling in Object Studio, you'll need to define a URL as you identify object, but if you create a launch action you can then use a Navigate stage which has a CommandLineParams Input where a different URL can be passed. We've set up an Environment variable for that URL, but there isn't any reason that you can't use a normal data item that's passed from your Process.

If the URL is different for Dev, test and Prod, then it's best to use an Environment Variable. The Environment Variable has the same name in each environment but a different value, eg https://dev.app.com, https://uat.app.com or https://prod.app.com
