How do I insert hyperlinks in blank cells

I am trying to set up hyperlinks before inserting any information in the
cells. Is this possible? I was told to use a blank symbol, but the symbol
actually shows up as a dash. Or if there has to be some type of data entered
into a cell in order to hyperlink it, if I do put a zero for the time being,
is there anyway to format it so that the zeroes do not show?

Yes; you can. Place a 0 and set the hyperlink.
Select the cell, Right click>FormatCells>select Custom> Type 2 double quotes
as below

I have another question.

Is there a way to copy the format only to all of the cells that contain the
0% without overriding the previous hyperlinks I already inserted?

Just one more question if you don't mind. Can I do apply the same format to
cells that contain a formula but say False due to the cell within the formula
not containing the information stated? For example, I put a formula
=If(I25>=20%,5%) since I25 is currently 0%, the adjacent column says False,
but I want to be able to hide that. And with this formatting below, once a
percentage greater than zero is entered, will it then show up or do I have to
go back to each individual cell and change the format?

Now do I have to remove the "" once I actually enter the data in the adjacent
cell? This goes for both the '0' entry and the 'False' entries that I used
this on.

Thanks so much!

By formatting cells to "" what ever data you put in will not be displayed..
