I have an hyperlinks in text frames, different in each frame, and I want to have, a link with url to the frames no to text only.
Is it possible to make this automatically in whole document?

Try the following code, it will remove hyperlink on a text and make a hyperlink on its parent textframe with the same destination URL. The code works on the assumption that a textframe will have only one text hyperlink
...var h = app.documents[0].hyperlinks.everyItem().getElements()
for(var i = 0; i < h.length; i++)
{
if(h.source.constructor.name != "HyperlinkTextSource")
continue;
var pt = h.source.sourceText.parentTextFrames[0]
var nm = h.name
var newSource = app.documents[0].hy

var nm = h.name
var newSource = app.documents[0].hyperlinkPageItemSources.add(pt)
var nh = app.documents[0].hyperlinks.add(newSource, h.destination)
h.remove()
nh.name = nm
}
