How do you create a text link to jump to a row in numbers

Question

Short: How do I create some simple link from Row 1 Cell 1 showing December, to jump my screen down to row 300 for example?
I want to do this because I use numbers for a 365 days per row long spreadsheet, and collumn A B C D E are staff names, it's alike a daily booking calendar for employees for me to see availability.
I have made the top header row of staff names frozen, so when I stroll down I see the staff names above each collumn, useful. I have also added a row under this and want to write each month, e.g. Jan, Feb, Mar and turn those to links, taking me directly to the row in the spreasheet. How on earth does one do this?
I have searched: internal link, simple link to a row, internal shortcut, internal link and others, can not find it in this forum, google or the help.
Thanks

This script isn't based on a Numbers 09 script so I don't know if it works the same way, but it seems to work ok in Numbers 3.5.
The dates (Jan 1, Jan 2... Dec 31) must be formatted as text, NOT as date and time.
For ease of reference the table is called Holiday Planner. The script must be updated if this is changed.
The top of the table looks like this:
This is the script:
set esc_key to 53
tell application "Numbers"
  activate
  set the_month to (choose from list {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"} ¬
  with prompt "Which month do you want to jump to?")
  if the result is false then return
  set the_month to the_month as string
  tell document 1
  tell active sheet
  tell table "Holiday Planner"
  set the_row to item 1 of (every row where ((value of cell 1) begins with the_month))
  set selection range to the_row
  tell application "System Events"
  key code esc_key
  end tell
  set selection range to the_row
  end tell
  end tell
  end tell
end tell
One cosmetic problem is that when you jump "onwards" in the calendar as opposed to "backwards", the first row of the month appears at the bottom of the window rather than at the top. I'm not sure there's any way of fixing that.
Save the script in your ~/Library/Scripts/Numbers/ folder and then you can run it from the Numbers script menu:
Hope it's useful.
