There is not. This is a feature request: Grab current page URL with liquid.

Workaround

If you have several different instances but just wants to use a single liquid variable, then you can achieve this with a clever application of User Attributes.

1. On each instance, create a User Attribute called "hostname".
2. Set the default value of "hostname" to the hostname URL. This will differ per instance, of course.
3. In your LookML, reference {{ _user_attributes['hostname'] }} to get the hostname URL!
