WordPress custom fields with multiple values

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to have Custom Fields with 2 values in WordPress posts...

Here are two examples:

For example if I want to have a field named "projects" with two values

value 1 "name"
value 2 "url"

Is it possible to do that?

BTW, I know I can do projects_name & projects_url in separate fields but that's something that doesn't suit my needs.

You can store them as a comma-separated list and "explode" them later... — rnevius

First off you are using post_meta as that is were custom fields is stored secondly why not just have 2 custom fields one for name and one for link you can retrieve them the same way or as previously suggested make the value delimiter separated so Text*Link them simply explode

$linkVar =  explode('*', get_post_meta($post_id, 'your key');

echo '<a href="' . $linkVar[1] . '">' . $linkVar[0] . '</a>';

because there're going to be 7/8 of those links/names... and people that are going to use it are not really into blogs and stuff I'd like to make it as simple as possible for them...

That is simple as once you have added once everything else should be done via backend

Maybe my answer will be helpful for some more people who use "Custom field suite (Field Group)" WP plugin:

$loop = CFS()->get( 'your_param_slug' );
foreach ( $loop as $row => $label ) {
   echo $row; // or: echo $label
}
