Allow getting parameters from file lines

To benchmark a URL cleaning tool I'm building, I got 9000 URLs from reddit using reddit.com/domain/$DOMAIN and want to pass them all into a bash script that's effectively a fancy wrapper around hyperfine. The problem is that passing the first 3000 URLs into a --parameter-list errors on the argument list being too long, and passing in all 9000 somehow crashes my laptop.
What I'd like is to be able to write the URLs to a file then say, for example, --parameters-from-file-lines url urls.txt. In fact this could skip the file entirely by using --parameters-from-file-lines url <(url-getting-command).
