Linked List of Sheets - google-apps-script

Question

I have two functions I'm looking to join together and I'm struggling with it. The first function lists all of the tabs I have in the sheet (on the actual doc I'm working on this is just over 100 tabs and growing).
function listsheets() {
var out = new Array()
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
for (var i=0 ; i<sheets.length ; i++) out.push( [ sheets[i].getName() ] )
return out
}
The second function links cells based on there text; i.e., if there is a "data" cell, it would link to the "data" tab in my workbook.
function linkRange() {
const startRow = 2,
column = 1;
const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(),
sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("List of Sheets"),
lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
for (let row = startRow; row <= lastRow; row++) {
const range = sheet.getRange(row, column),
richTextValue = range.getRichTextValue(),
targetSheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(richTextValue.getText());
if (targetSheet !== null) {
const sheetId = targetSheet.getSheetId(),
builder = richTextValue.copy().setLinkUrl(`#gid=${sheetId}`);
range.setRichTextValue(builder.build());
}
}
}
What I am ultimately looking for is a way to automatically link this list of sheets, so the custom function would essentially read as "linkRange(listsheets())".

Sorry if misunderstood your goal. From your code I suspect you need this:
function build_list_of_sheets() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
var list = [];
for (var sheet of sheets) {
var value = SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue()
.setText(sheet.getName())
.setLinkUrl('#gid=' + sheet.getSheetId())
.build();
list.push([value]);
}
var sh = ss.getSheetByName('List of Sheets');
sh.getRange(2,1,list.length,1).setRichTextValues(list);
}
It takes the names all sheets and put them into column A of the sheet 'List of Sheets' as a list of links:
