Create hyperlink to jump to first cell whose value matches TODAY() in specified column

I have a column with an ordered list of dates in Google Sheets. I want to create a "Jump to today" cell at the top of the sheet that when clicked jumps to highlight the cells that match TODAY(), as well as the ones in the same row in the two adjacent columns to the left. For example:

G1034:G1037 = TODAY()

Click "Jump to today"

Want it to highlight E1034:G1037

Already tried these functions:

HYPERLINK()

VLOOKUP()

MATCH()

The issue is that I keep finding ways to return the values of the specified cells rather than the addresses. I can use MATCH() to return the row number and then CONCAT() to append that to the desired columns to get a cell address. However, my issue is with using that address inside a hyperlink.

this is how you do it... it will jump on the cell with today's date:

="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16nnuzNRx_kGGJm1EBVX7kBT2bfW1-2TYwSiuaLF-QIA/edit#gid=1426770815&range="&ADDRESS(MATCH(TODAY(), A:A), 1, 4)

0

for G column it would be: &ADDRESS(MATCH(TODAY(), A:A), 7, 4)
