[Tex/LaTex] Underscore in bibtex url

bibtexlinkspdfunderscoreurls

I'm trying to include a link to some code on OneDrive; the link includes an underscore, which is causing a lot of trouble.

I tried adding the entry like this:

@misc{code,
    title = {Code},
    url = {https://1drv.ms/link_link}
}

I use \usepackage{url} and \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}. Everything compiles fine and the bibliography shows the correct entry. However, if you click the link, it opens a page at https://1drv.ms/link – so ignoring the underscore and everything after it, which leads to a wrong page.
Even copy and paste from the PDF doesn't work since the underscore is copied as space, which again is a broken link.

How can I add the link such that it can be clicked and copied properly? I tried \_, \usepackage{underscore}, {{link}}, different bibtex entries but nothing worked. Also all the related questions/answers don't answer mine.

Just to formally answer and close this question: As Ulrike Fischer answered in the comments, the solution was to use \usepackage{hyperref} (or \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} to avoid the ugly boxes) and \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}. This allows properly clicking and copy-&-pasting URLs with underscores.

However, it turned out, using package hyperref wasn't allowed when trying to submit the paper to IEEE. So I ended up simply changing the URL to something without underscore using goo.gl (or bitly since goo.gl is down).
