Use setAttribute to set the variable as a value for href

var BASE_URL='http://localhost/BKTHP_WEB_NEW/';
document.querySelector('a').setAttribute('href',BASE_URL)

<a href="">Link

You can use setAttribute on your a tag, and set the href dynamically

<a id="replace" href="">YOUR LINK</a>

const BASE_URL='http://localhost/BKTHP_WEB_NEW/';
document.querySelector('#replace').setAttribute('href', BASE_URL);
