Yes, you can do this in App Script. Here's a very simple implementation where the HYPERLINK function is built and appended to a cell:

function hyperlinkRange() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet1 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
  var sheet2 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2").getSheetId();

  sheet1.getRange("A1").setValue('=hyperlink("#gid='+sheet2+'&range='+sheet1.getRange('A1:A10').getA1Notation()+'", "Click to jump to Sheet 2")');
}

You can combine this with loops to set a value of links across multiple sheets.
