      {
          name:'zzz',
          label:'zzz',
          width:100,
          sorttype:'int',
          formatter:'currency',
          formatoptions:{decimalSeparator:".", thousandsSeparator: ",", decimalPlaces: 0, prefix: "$ "},

      {
          name:'strategies.name',
          label:'strategies',

      }]
jQuery("#gridtableid").jqGrid('filterToolbar',{defaultSearch : "cn",stringResult: true,searchOnEnter : false});

In JQgrid, you can call a javascript function and do any required formatting . You have the entire row data to play with it.

What needs to be done is call a function showlink in your case and remove formatoptions from that row. HAve a separate js function showlink as below and return the prepared link back to the grid.

function showLink(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {


var link = "<a href ='<a href=\"http://www.w3schools.com&id='"+rowObject.columnid+"\">'+ rowObject.columnName + "</a>"; 

}
