The Scopus source download doesn't contain journal homepage links. According to a Twitter conversation, the best way is to use the Scopus API to lookup homepages for ISSNs. For example, PeerJ has a source-id of 21100239256 and an ISSN of 2167-8359. To get the homepage, we can do:
curl --silent \
https://api.elsevier.com/content/serial/title/issn/2167-8359?httpAccept=application/json \
| python -m json.tool
Which returns:
