We can link images from a CMS to a lightbox. What about URLs?

Not really. When you put a link (URL) in the media field of a lightbox, it loads that link (as long as its a youtube or vimeo link).

If your CMS field is a link field, Webflow won’t know what to do with it and won’t have the media prepared. If it’s a video field, Webflow should be able to bind it to the lightbox media attribute.
