Is it possible to escape special characters in dynamically added cell data in request messages?

I would like to build a link to a Smartsheet form from another sheet's workflow, including default values as described here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2478871-url-query-string-form-default-values

Those default values should be set from a cell using {{ }} as described here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2477796-dynamically-add-cell-data-in-the-subject-and-body-of-request-messages

My problem is that the cell data includes spaces, which aren't allowed in URLs. Is there a way to automatically replace special characters in the cell data? The templating engine for jekyll for instance would solve this with something like {{ColumnName | uri_escape}}
