Hi, 
 I didn't understand your use case fully, but this is what I am thinking. You can try this solution. It will work for your situation based on the description your provided. 
 a!gridColumn(
 label: cons!CR_APP_LAB_MODULE_OVERVIEW[2],
 value: a!localVariables(
 local!recordUrl: urlforrecord(
 recordType: cons!CR_RECORD_TYPE_CUSTOMER,
 recordIds: ri!crModuelCheckList_cdt.cif_int /*Not sure why you are using this insted of fv!identifier */
 /*fv!identifier*/
 ),
 local!dashboardViewStub: if(
 fv!row.workflowId_int = cons!CR_WORKFLOW_IDS[1],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[1],
 if(
 fv!row.workflowId_int = cons!CR_WORKFLOW_IDS[2],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[2],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[3]
 /*Note: Add all your remaining if conditions here if any*/
 )
 ),
 local!recordUrlWithSpecificView: substitute(
 local!url,
 "summary",
 local!dashboardViewStub
 ),
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: {
 a!richTextItem(
 text: fv!row.workflowDesc_txt,
 link: a!safeLink(
 label: fv!row.workflowDesc_txt,
 uri: local!recordUrlWithSpecificView
 )
 )
 }
 )
 )
 )

I forgot to update at line no 20. You can try this code 
 a!gridColumn(
 label: cons!CR_APP_LAB_MODULE_OVERVIEW[2],
 value: a!localVariables(
 local!recordUrl: urlforrecord(
 recordType: cons!CR_RECORD_TYPE_CUSTOMER,
 recordIds: ri!crModuelCheckList_cdt.cif_int /*Not sure why you are using this insted of fv!identifier */
 /*fv!identifier*/
 ),
 local!dashboardViewStub: if(
 fv!row.workflowId_int = cons!CR_WORKFLOW_IDS[1],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[1],
 if(
 fv!row.workflowId_int = cons!CR_WORKFLOW_IDS[2],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[2],
 cons!CR_MODULES_DASHBOARD_URL_STUBE[3]
 /*Note: Add all your remaining if conditions here if any*/
 )
 ),
 local!recordUrlWithSpecificView: substitute(
 local!recordUrl,
 "summary",
 local!dashboardViewStub
 ),
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: {
 a!richTextItem(
 text: fv!row.workflowDesc_txt,
 link: a!safeLink(
 label: fv!row.workflowDesc_txt,
 uri: local!recordUrlWithSpecificView
 )
 )
 }
 )
 )
 )

The function urlforrecord always returns the URL for tempo, so if you want it to open in a site instead you may need to replace the URL accordingly. Usually you'd have to do something like this: concat( local!siteUrl, mid( urlforrecord( cons!YOUR_RECORD_TYPE, fv!identifier ), find( "/records/item", urlforrecord( cons!YOUR_RECORD_TYPE, fv!identifier ), ) + 13, /* Adding 13 because that's the number */ /* of characters in /records/item */ 10000 ) ) You just need to make sure that the URL for the site is valid - usually this means you need to include the site name, page name, and "record" before the URL above. Something like this: https://.appiancloud.com/suite/sites//page//record//view/summary

You should be able to assemble an Expression Rule containing essentially the same code Peter posted above, takes in the record type and the identifier, and returns the relevant site-specific URL for the same record.
