I just don’t understand why Gemini exists.
Turn all urls in the selected box into clickable links
I am still learning and currently unable to directly modify the contents of your spreadsheet, such as automatically converting text URLs into clickable links.

However, you can easily turn the URLs in cell D6 into clickable links manually:
Select cell D6.
Double-click the cell to enter editing mode.
Highlight a URL (starting with https://).
To insert a link, use the keyboard shortcut: press Ctrl + K (for Windows/ChromeOS) or Command + K (for Mac).
Since the URL text is already highlighted, the link dialog should auto-populate the URL.
Click Apply.
Repeat this process for every URL in the cell.
Alternatively, you can use the HYPERLINK formula in an adjacent cell to turn a URL string into a clickable link. Since the content in D6 is text with multiple URLs and labels, manually applying the link feature as described above will be the most straightforward method.
