Trouble adding a custom admin menu link

    I have been using HESK for years. It has no wordpress plugin which sucks but no support program made for wordpress has its great features.

    I need to use HESK as a bug reporting/tracking system. I have had to devise a way to pass information to HESK from wordpress using this link:

    <a href="https://archtronics.com/support/index.php?a=add&custom1=
<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>
&category=10&name=<?php $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
echo $current_user->user_firstname . '&nbsp;';
echo $current_user->user_lastname . '&email=';
echo $current_user->user_email . '&custom2=';
echo $current_user->user_login;?>
&subject=I%20found%20a%20bug!%20Squash%20it%20please." target="_blank">Report a Bug</a>

    That works just fine, but here is the problem.
    I really need the link to be available on every page of each site for logged in users. I figure the best way to do this is to have it appear on the admin bar.

    I am trying to make a simple plugin that will allow me to make this addition to the admin bar and all I have found on the internet are ways to add a static link up there. Example below:

    add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'toolbar_link_to_mypage', 999 );

function toolbar_link_to_mypage( $wp_admin_bar ) {
	$args = array(
		'id'    => 'my_page',
		'title' => 'My Page',
		'href'  => 'https://mysite.com/my-page/',
		'meta'  => array( 'class' => 'my-toolbar-page' )
	);
	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
}

    I am not very good in PHP yet and I have tried so many different ways to get my link to work on the admin bar with no success.

    Does anyone know how to get a dynamic link like mine onto the admin bar?

    Basically I’m asking:

    function custom_toolbar() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;

	$args = array(
		'id'     => 'report_button',
		'title'  => __( 'Report a Bug', 'text_domain' ),
		'href'   => 'HOW TO GET A DYNAMIC LINK IN HERE',
		'meta'   => array(
			'target'   => '_blank',
		),
	);
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( $args );

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_toolbar', 999 );

    function custom_toolbar() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	$url = "https://archtronics.com/support/index.php?a=add&custom1={$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}&category=10&name={$current_user->user_firstname}&nbsp;{$current_user->user_lastname}&email={$current_user->user_email}&custom2={$current_user->user_login}&subject=I%20found%20a%20bug!%20Squash%20it%20please.";

	$args = array(
		'id'     => 'report_button',
		'title'  => __( 'Report a Bug', 'text_domain' ),
		'href'   => $url,
		'meta'   => array(
			'target'   => '_blank',
		),
	);
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( $args );

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_toolbar', 999 );

    I think I got that right, let me know if you encounter any problems. Or now that you see the syntax, you may be able to repair any problem yourself ??
