INDEX/MATCH, XLOOKUP, or VLOOKUP can accomplish this from a dynamic perspective.
Thanks mate
HLOOKUP

If you want to get all fancy and return specific values based off of something being in another list:
IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(<lookup>,<lookup array>,0)),<value if it shows up in other list>,<value if not in other list>

Ha yeah you’re right, totally misread/misinterpreted
Do you mean look up or just directly reference? If lookup then there is no issue, just define the lookup array as a column in index match.
But if you mean that you want a row of cells that are populated by values from a column then that is different.
For the latter, it is irritating that there is no way to drag the formula reference a cell (starting with A1) sideways so that the cell next to the first one references the cell below the first referenced cell (starting with B2 and dragging to C2, but wanting referenced cells to be A1 then A2).
I have an ugly but effective way to do this. Basically create a column that references another column. So, start in B1, type formula =A1 and drag down from B1 to B6. Now each of those cells will include =A1 then =A2 and so on. Now the dirty bit: use replace function to replace the = with a nonsense set of characters like ### (something that will not appear in a formula or any other text). This changes the formulae into strings text that you can move around with out the formulae trying to be clever and change the cells they reference. Now you can use Paste Transpose to rotate the column into a row. Now use ctrl replace to change the ### back to =. This will turn all the formulae back on.
You can also reference the cells in a column next to it, as you stated, but just row and column lock the cell references. Then you can copy and paste transpose the locked references. Afterwards just remove the locking if preferred.
HLOOKUP bruh (horizontal lookup)
Index match
Just index match the column row number with the count of your columns. That way column 1 = row 1 and so on
