I would look into this question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36564293/extract-urls-from-a-string-using-php
You could use the above link detection to do something like this in your shortcode:
<?php
function pods_current_user($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'currUser' => get_current_user_id(),
), $atts));
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'field' => "display_name",
), $atts));
$message = do_shortcode('[pods name="user" where="ID = '.$currUser.'"] {@'.$field.'}[/pods]');
preg_match_all('#\bhttps?://[^,\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^,[:punct:]\s]|/))#', $message, $match);
// Do something with your links via the $match array.
return $message;
}
add_shortcode('getShortCode', 'pods_current_user');
