No, the export feature in Alma for queries/sets of records cannot be modified.  However, moving that data into Alma Analytics will allow for much more information to be retrieved, exported, and modified.

After generating your set of records and exporting, you can view the file.  There should be a list of useful identifiers, such as MMS ID for titles or PID for portfolios.

Open Alma Analytics and create an analysis of the subject area you are investigating.  Create a filter based on the MMS ID or PID (typically in Bibliographic Details).  Now click the magnifying glass next to value and then the pencil icon next to Selected.  You should now have an empty text box labelled Edit.  Enter ALL the MMS ID or PID from the export - just copy and paste the column.  Click OK for all 3 boxes, and now you have a filter of a long list of IDs.  A search will now result in the data for all, and only, the records in your original search.

Alma Analytics is more flexible than Alma, so now you will be able to view and export URLs and other data not available in the normal export function of Alma.
