I know custom label is used to store static text but would like to store tableau report link with dynamic Contact Id value or name. Issue is when I read it from VFP without controller then it does not resolve to link. Any help? Thanks.

Custom Labels do not store dynamic or active content. Their design purpose is to support internationalization and translation. While you can include in a Custom Label substitution points, like {0} and {1}, as used with String.format(), I don't think that's the most suitable solution for building templated links.

You can use this type of templating in a Custom Link or in a formula field using the HYPERLINK() function. Your Visualforce can, of course, reference the content of a custom formula field.

In a Visualforce context, if you prefer not to create a custom formula field to hold such a link, you can construct the link yourself using Apex logic or Visualforce expressions. The URL template itself might best be stored in a Custom Setting.
