Issue:
Question: can i override a node's prefix via criteria ?
I would like to change the prefix or the href for specific nodes

### Summary

- I'm perfectly fine with how things work for code under version control and can add the URL to my gitlab instance in the configuration file under the `prefix` option BUT I would like to be able to link to node packages when the dependency type is npm

### Environment

<!--- Include as many details about the environment - when relevant for this issue.
  --->

- Version used: 14.1.1
- Node version: 18.17.0
- Operating System and version: alpine node
- Link to your project: <private>
