If you just want to enter a URL link to those books, I think the only place to do it on GR is in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the slide-out panel for the relevant person in "Immediate Family" view.

If you are able to save relevant text from one of the books in a form acceptable to GR, you can put in Keepsave.
You can add the following file types to your Keepsafe:

.jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp, .tif

Go to the persons 'Gallery'. Then click 'Add'.
Select 'upload photos'
Then 'upload files'.

You'll have to experiment from there as they only take certain formats & file size.

If you wanted to post an URL to support an occupation, residence or what ever, go to the profile page & 'facts' . You can add a specific date outside if BMD or census by selecting 'Add' & choose a description closest to your requirements.
Once you've completed the basic details & saved, edit that fact. Paste the URL into the Description box.
