I would like to be able to redirect to a url when the user clicks the category.

enter image description here

I have this menu, with the News category. This category loads a CMS Block:

enter image description here

And only having a script which redirects me to an url:

<script type="application/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://web/blog/news/";
</script>

I have also used:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='http://web/blog/news/'" />

Basically it redirects fine, but in between it loads the CMS Block, which has the javascript:

enter image description here

And after it does properly redirect to the wanted url.

The issue here is that it shows the CMS Block in between, can I avoid that somehow? Or is there a better way to do it?

The main point here is to be able to create a categories link to this webpage, and so far, creating a block and adding it to the category is what I have comed up to. If necessary I can open de code and do it programatically, but it's not what I'm seeking for due to the clients would like to add more and they are not developers.

You don't have to build an extension for this.
You can do the following:

Create new category in Products -> Categories and set a meta title inside Search Engine Optimization, for example: "News".

Go to Marketing -> SEO and sales -> URL Rewrite and change the target path to the desired one. For example: "blog/news". NOTE: If your not allowed to change the target path, delete them and create it again with the correct target path or change it on Database, inside url_rewrite table.

After that, reindex.

For this requirement, you have to build an extension

which extension will create a category an Attribute and where
your clients add respect cms page URL. How to create a category attribute follow Magento devdoc.

Then using catalog_controller_category_init_after event, you will
direct to that custom attribute field value

File: Namespace/Module/Setup/InstallData.php

<?php
namespace NamespaceModuleSetup;Setup;
use MagentoEavSetupEavSetup;
use MagentoEavSetupEavSetupFactory;

class InstallData implements MagentoFrameworkSetupInstallDataInterface

 protected $eavSetupFactory;
 public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory) 
 $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
 
 public function install(MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, 
 MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleContextInterface $context) 

 $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
 $eavSetup->addAttribute(MagentoCatalogModelCategory::ENTITY, 'cms_url', [
 'type' => 'varchar',
 'label' => 'Your Category Attribute Name',
 'input' => 'text',
 'visible' => true,
 'required' => false,
 'global' => MagentoEavModelEntityAttributeScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
 'group' => 'General Information',
 ]);
