Standard object as hyperlink field

Hi Guys,

I have created a data table for custom sobject(test__c) list view.
I used SOQL query to get all the required fields (some are standard fields - Account and contact name) related to test__C.

But the issue here is, when the user clicks the standard fields, they should be able to navigate the Account and contact name pages respectively. For that, I need to make these as hyperlink fileds.

I am not sure how to proceed for this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!

use following code :
updated class  
public class Test {
    List<test__c> products;
    
    public List<test__c> getProducts() {
        products = [SELECT id,Name,Account_Name__c, Account_Name__r.Name,Contact_Name__c,Contact_Name__r.name FROM test__c];
        return products; 
    }
    
    
}
* Account_Name__c will give you the id of record and Account_Name__r.Name gives you the name of lookup record

Not working as expected. 

Both - Account_Name__r.Name and  Account_Name__c returning the name of the Account in output link URL instead ID.

Output URL link:

https://xxxxxxxx.my.salesforce.com/B_AccountMaintance

There is anyway I can retreive the ID of the account and pass it to VF page.

Will Hyperlink funtion works for this case?
PappuPappu
Thanks guys !!
Issue got resolved.
I used the same code as Piyush posted. Instead Account_Name__r.Name, I haved used Account_Name__r.Id in the command link button.
