Use a standard HyperLink control not a Label.  Labels render as spans not links.

I really need to use label because the Url will always contain variable reference Id that will be generated each time the code makes a API call.
something like this

Your response makes little sense.  The HyperLink control has a NavigationUrl property that you can set in the code behind.  If you are using a label to persist a URL that is used by AJAX or code behind then you'll need to provide more information.

For more information:

What I want to do in my situation is to make an API call to initialize payment, the API will create Authorization URL that looks like this

https://Paymentsite.com/uy78h4nop

and the call will return via json response, which I Deserialized using JObject.Parse() to get authorization_url as a variable to be assigned to Label

this is :

string received_authorization_url = data.authorization_url;
Label1.Text= received_authorization_url;

So I will like the Label to render the authorization_url on web page as Link to direct user to the payment site.

I have found a solution around that, I did

Response.Redirect(received_authorization_url)

);
