The "link that is displayed in the addresse bare" is the URL of the page
requested. You would control it by controlling the location and/or name
and/or URL of the page.

No. It will show where you actually are, and never anything else.
Imagine the alternative:

<script>
window.displayUrl = "windowsupdate.com";
</script>
<b>You must download this important security patch!</b></br>
<a href="evilVirus.exe">update now</a>
