How to go to a specific cell in a Google sheet ?

var menuEntries = [{name: "Go to", functionName: "goToCell"}];
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().addMenu("MyUtils", menuEntries);
}
function goToCell()
{
var strRange = Browser.inputBox("Insert the required cell (e.g.: B351):", Browser.Buttons.OK_CANCEL);
if(strRange != "cancel")
{
try

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(strRange).activate();

I need help to be able to jump to given row from stand-alone Google Apps Script or by visiting a link without page refresh like @seanbreckenridge's solution. I've got a chrome extension that injects a panel on top of the sheet and the extension can access the sheet through a standalone google apps script, now I want to jump to the variable row by clicking a button on that panel.

Just adding some input, If we have to hyperlink the cell from a sheet within same workbook, we don't have to write complete link as mentioned above, Let me suggest two easy options here;

  1. wherever you want to create a link, just type =HYPERLINK("#rangeid=sheet ID","sheet name"), writing Sheet Name here means that you want this name to be shown in the Cell
    or
  2. just right click on any cell, click on Insert Link, and click on the sheet where you want the link, it will work
