Is there an easy way to set an alternative url for the title of a node to link to?

I have pages that I have set up using Views that contain a list of nodes for a category. On the home page, I have chosen one node from each category as a highlight of that category, but I'd like the title of that node on the homepage to go to my category page and not to just that node's page. Is this doable?

I'm kind of a newbie at Drupal.

Thanks!

In your View's Fields list, click the "Node: Title" entry. There is a checkbox labeled "Output this field as a link". Select this (and ensure that "Link this field to its node" is NOT selected).

When you choose this, a new set of fields display where you can define a custom "Link Path". You can use the replacement patterns to insert a dynamic value for the category. If Category doesn't appear in the Replacement Patterns list, you can add that field and choose "Exclude from Display".
