Project teams looking to establish single source of truth source hyper- link direct to ProjectWise from SharePoint. 
 Hyperlink working in edit, as soon as page saved on SharePoint the hyperlink becomes inactive.

Sharepoint URL fields are restricted to specific protocols in the URL. All other protocols are blocked. Outlook Web Access has the same restriction and will turn non-conforming URLs into links that bring up an error message from OWA (Outlook thick client from Office install does not have this issue.) 
 You can't change the list of allowed protocols, however you can create a custom field type that allows ProjectWise URLs and makes them clickable. I'm not totally familar how to do this on the Sharepoint side but one of our developers created a custom field for our projectwise urls and they work fine. 
 An entire custom web part is not needed, just a custom field type.

 I have managed to store hyperlinks to ProjectWise documents within a SharePoint List 
 The trick is to use the new ProjectWise Web and "Get Links" you can then chose from the advanced options whether or not you want users to be directed to Web or PWE. 
 Then due to a limitation in SharePoint on the length of URLs I created a short url using bity. 
 This can all be automated using Power Automate.
