Static Title with token - [title] - works on nodes but not views

I am trying to create a view where the node title point to a website. I have set up the custom link static title to [title] and everything is hunky dory on the node page. On a view this node type the link disappears. Actually it is present but is empty so it doesn't show. i.e. . If I change the link field title from a token to plain text, i.e "Website", it shows up fine on the view. Are tokens not passed to the view?
