This is all you need:

{% set linkedEntry = craft.entries.id(42).first() %}
<a href="{{ linkedEntry.url }}">{{ linkedEntry.title }}</a>

If you use this in many places you can also make a macro.

{% macro linkToEntry(entryId) %} 
   
    {# Get the entry with the selected ID #}
    {% set linkedEntry = craft.entries.id(entryId).first() %}
    
    {# Make sure the entry exists and output the link #}
    {% if linkedEntry %}
        <a href="{{ linkedEntry.url }}">{{ linkedEntry.title }}</a>
    {% endif %}

{% endmacro %}

It's nice to have macros in a separate file and import it into your templates. I really love using macros for this kind of code snippets, very useful and DRY.

{% import "macros.html" as macros %}

<li>{{ macros.linkToEntry(42) }}</li>
<li>{{ macros.linkToEntry(17) }}</li>
<li>{{ macros.linkToEntry(20) }}</li>

{% set linkedEntry = craft.entries.id(42).first %}
<a href="{{ linkedEntry.url }}">{{ linkedEntry.title }}</a>

    {# Make sure the entry exists and output the link #}
    {% if linkedEntry %}
