Linking can be a really handy tool for you when building your Google Sheet project. You can use it to reference a long list of external documents. Create a table of contents Google Sheet Tab for your monster of a Google Sheets project. Or even create a mini centralised information hub for your organisation or team.

Oh! Did you know that there is also a Google Sheets functions for HYPERLINKS. Why use it over the link too? Well, it is great for concurrent automation of cells down a row. Or you might want to add it to a greater formula to, say, add URL extensions automatically.
