'How to display Full Referrer URL in Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?
In the past, with older Google Analytics accounts and properties I was able to use a Custom Report on a View to show a table of Full Referral URLs.
But with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) I can no longer have Views, so I'm at a loss how I can show Full Referral URLs? I can show the Referral Source (domain name only) but I'd prefer to see the full Referral Path.
Any ideas how I can go about this?
Thank you.

Closest I can find is to use the Explore tab to create a new Exploration with the following settings:
Variables
- Dimensions: Page referrer
- Metrics: Active users
Tab Settings
- rows: Page referrer
- show rows: 500 (optional)
- values: Active users
- cell type: Heat map (optional)
- filters: (exclude any URL patterns here)
Then minimize the Variables and Settings panels.
This will give you a long table of full referrer URLs along with the number of users that came from there. In my case most are domain names, but a handful are full URLs pointing to a page.
It remains to be seen if this can be done more easily or more comprehensively.
