Jeffrey, Sylvia-
We do use the AltNums field, but are using it in a somewhat unintuitive way
in order to accommodate URLs of any length:

The URL goes into Remarks. The Description is "Biography" (or you could use
"Authority" or something else). And the AltNum field contains the name of
the source, in this case VIAF. We currently collect the URLs for VIAF,
Library of Congress Authorities, Getty's Union List of Artist Names (ULAN),
as well as Wikidata and Wikipedia.

I'm curious how you're harvesting the VIAF urls.
