Own unique url for each entry

Help, I don't understand JS
in the demo table. Links work only on the first letters of the Position.
https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/data_rendering.html
I want all links to be in JS. And to work for a unique job title, and not for a capital letter like on a demo

                    if (data[0] < '???') {
                        link = "http://cloudtables.com";
                    }
                    else if (data[0] < 'Support Engineer') {
                        link = "http://editor.datatables.net";
                    }

                    return '<a href="' + link + '">' + data + '</a>';
                }

                return data;
            }
        },   ```

That's just an arbitrary example. You can code this anyway you like!

{
    data: 'position',
    render: function(data, type) {
    if (type === 'display') {
       let link = "http://datatables.net";
       if (data == 'Accountant') {
            link = "http://cloudtables.com";
        } else if (data == 'Sales Assistant') {
            link = "http://editor.datatables.net";
        }
        return '<a href="' + link + '">' + data + '</a>';
     }
     return data;
   }
 },

You are welcome! I understand your problem though: Many of the examples are overly simplistic and have not much in common with real world situations. That can be confusing at times. So always bear in mind: It's just examples not templates

Apart from this I don't think you'll find many free solutions that have such a rich documentation, and such an active and supportive forum as Data Tables. A big thank you to @allan and his team for that.
