Hi @brice willy,

That is not possible at this time. It would be a great Product Idea to submit. Remember to search for any that might be submitted already, and vote it up. If none are submitted, then submit a new one.

Bonjour @brice willy

If you are OK with using Smartsheet API, you can get a sheet's URL or Link by Sheet ID with a simple code like this.

Though not using a Sheet ID, a good practice is to use Sheet Summary to classify sheets, such as Project Management, Budget, etc.

Then, you can create sheet summary fields that contain key values that can be easily searched.

Make search easier by categorizing sheets

You can create sheet summary fields that contain key values that can be easily searched. A few examples of this include:

• Label the department that a sheet pertains to using a Dropdown List field or Text/Number field.
• Add keywords to a Text/Number field that can be searched for. For example: construction, electrical, engineering 

Check out Searching in Smartsheet for details on the search functionality.
