Links to a cell within current worksheet keep changing the location, or doesn't work at all.

I have a series of titles at the top of my worksheet with links to the most popular categories, hopefully to get to those categories quickly for data entry. I right click on the cell where I want the link, select Link, the enter the cell reference I want to jump to, with the text to display. This works. It presents a link, and if i click on the link, it jumps to exactly where I want it to go. However, over time, the cell reference isn't correct, and jumps to something else. I assume this is happening due to modifications of the worksheet or what it's from. I do not use "$" in the cell reference, assuming that if I enter A720 as the cell reference, the reference will automatically be modified to A730 if 10 rows are added. I have enough of these links that I shouldn't have to modify all of them each time there is an insertion or deletion. I tried using the formula =HYPERLINK(A730, "Category1") or =HYPERLINK('Shawna Smith'!A730, "Category1"), and neither of these work at all. It does not jump to A730 when I click on it. What am I doing wrong, or should I be using another feature or formula? Thank you for your help.
