How to set st.column_config.LinkColumn() when the dataframe comes from pd.read_excel()

Using Streamlit

I’m trying to figure out how to create a Hyperlink in a table, and I use LinkColumn() to enable it, but I’m not using a simple dict, I want that the data inserted come from an xlsx sheet. What I already tried was to convert the object to a dict with “df.to_dict(orient=‘index’)” and now I have my dictionary, but I can’t enable the link between the “Name” and the desired URL. Below I’ll show you an example of the data and the desired output:

Here is the dict i got when I use df.to_dict(orient=‘index’):

{
"app1":{
       "Description":  "this is the app1"
        "Official Website":  "https://myapp.domain.com/home"
        }
  
"app2":{
        "Description":  "this is the app2"
        "Official Website":  "https://myapp2.domain.com/home"
        }

"app3":{
        "Description":  "this is the app3"
        "Official Website":  "https://myapp3.domain.com/home"
        }
}

Now, the desired output should be

Here is a piece of my code:

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd

# ------------ Configuration ----------- #

EXCEL_FILE_PATH = "path/to/sheet.xlsx"

def display_table(sheet_name):

    cols_to_read = ['Tool Name', 'Description', 'Official Website']

    df = pd.read_excel(
        EXCEL_FILE_PATH,
        sheet_name=sheet_name,
        usecols=cols_to_read,
        skiprows=2,
        index_col=None
    )

    st.subheader("Tools and Resources")

    df_for_dict = df.set_index('Tool Name')
    tools_data_dict = df_for_dict.to_dict(orient='index')
    st.write(tools_data_dict)
    st_column_config = {}
    
    if 'Tool Name' in df.columns and 'Official Website' in df.columns:
        st_column_config["Tool Name"] = st.column_config.LinkColumn(
            "Tool Name", # Header for this column in Streamlit
            display_text="%(Tool Name)s", # Display the text from 'Tool Name' column
        )
        st_column_config["Official Website"] = None
    else:
        st.warning("Could not configure 'Tool Name' as a link. "
                    "Make sure 'Tool Name' and 'Official Website' columns exist in your Excel.")
    
    st.dataframe(
        df,
        column_config=st_column_config,
        hide_index=True,
        use_container_width=True
    )`

Preformatted text`

As you can see I want to link the column Tool Name to the column Official Website to create the Hyperlink, is there a way to do that? if not, what would you suggest in order to get the desired output? Thanks in advance
