I don't think there is really a good solution for this. I think the url picker always stores a value so it will never recursively go to the parent. It might be best to check if an url is available and if it's not go to the parent and fetch the property from there.

Jeroen, how would I go about doing the alternative way you have suggested?

Cheers,
Warren :) 

Ok figured it out in the end with a while loop

    //URL picker data type
    var brandLinkNew = Model.BrandLinkNew;    

    while (brandLinkNew.Url == string.Empty)
    {        
        brandLinkNew = Model.Parent.brandLinkNew;
    }

OK not quite the code I needed but this should do it now

    //URL picker data type
    var brandLink = Model.BrandLink;

    var current = Model;
    while (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(brandLink.Url) && Model.Parent.Id != -1)
    {
        brandLink = current.brandLink;
        current = current.Parent;
    }    

Try using LINQ

var recursiveLink = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf()
                          .Where(x => x.HasProperty("brandLinkNew") && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(UrlPickerState.Deserialize(x.GetPropertyValue("brandLinkNew").ToString()).Url))
                          .Select(x => x.GetPropertyValue("brandLinkNew"))
                          .Last();
                            
UrlPickerState brandLink= UrlPickerState.Deserialize(recursiveLink.ToString());

Hope it will help you!
