You could theoretically export your spreadsheet in the right format to work with Gryperlinker: https://rorohiko.com/wordpress/use-indesign-find-and-replace-to-assign-hyperlinks-to-text/

Otherwise, it's perfectly scriptable but not quite trivial. Have done it before for other clients. A lot hinges on how the doc is set up.
