Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
When you use standard hyperlinks it hard codes the current workbook/sheet referencing with it.

You could use hyperlink formula instead so that is dynamically changes with your workbook name. e.g. =HYPERLINK("#Sheet1!"&"$Target Column$"&Target Row,"Link Name")

I just tested a workbook that I have with the above formula, when I saved as a new workbook name the hyperlink still works correctly.

Just the sheet reference & target sections of the formula to suit each cell you are linking to.
