Make a link look more like a link

Question

Is it possible to make the below url look more like a word/excel link?

Here is a small latex example:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
    colorlinks=true,
    urlcolor=blue
}
\urlstyle{same}
\begin{document}
Url: \url{https://stackexchange.com/}
\end{document}

The result is:

I would like something, which looks like:

Any idea how to do that?

Update

I came by this solution, which is very close to what I want however it changes the font for the URL, which is not desired:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,urlcolor=blue}
\makeatletter
\DeclareUrlCommand\ULurl@@{
  \def\UrlFont{\ttfamily\color{blue}}
  \def\UrlLeft{\uline\bgroup}
  \def\UrlRight{\egroup}}
\def\ULurl@#1{\hyper@linkurl{\ULurl@@{#1}}{#1}}
\DeclareRobustCommand*\ULurl{\hyper@normalise\ULurl@}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Url: \ULurl{https://stackexchange.com/}
\end{document}

Does this answer your question? How can I have colored and underlined links with hyperref? — naphaneal, Oct 29 '20 at 18:04
Yes, it is. However I can't get linkbordercolor to work and I'm also looking for a lighter blue, but not 'cyan'. — User123456789, Oct 29 '20 at 20:18
you can define your own colours using the xcolor package. do some research on the topic. — naphaneal, Oct 30 '20 at 18:56
The link doesn't work for me, since it is references to a label in the document and I'm working with URL. — User123456789, Feb 05 '21 at 10:59

From your code:

add a % symbol to remove the blank space before the url
remove the \ttfamily font specifier to keep the same font or even use \normalfont to always format the url the same way

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,urlcolor=blue}
\makeatletter
\DeclareUrlCommand\ULurl@@{% <-- add this to remove space before url
%   \def\UrlFont{\ttfamily\color{blue}} <-- remove \ttfamily to keep the font
    \def\UrlFont{\color{blue}}%
    \def\UrlLeft{\uline\bgroup}%
    \def\UrlRight{\egroup}}
\def\ULurl@#1{\hyper@linkurl{\ULurl@@{#1}}{#1}}
\DeclareRobustCommand*\ULurl{\ULurl@}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
    Url: \ULurl{https://stackexchange.com/}
\end{document}
