I would like to add a hyperlink to a place in my document. I do not want it to have a specific cell reference because I may add rows to the page where my hyperlink points to.
For instance, I have assigned a hyperlink (place in this document) on sheet named "work orders" and it points to cell C7 on sheet named "dates". This works if I never add rows to the destination sheet. If I add 3 rows above row 7 on sheet "dates", then my hyperlink is off by 3 rows. I do have unique headings to each area I want the hyperlink to be set to. i.e. "Work Order 5", "Work Order 12".
Can I assign a hyperlink to a unique name within the sheet and it will always point to "Work Order 5" no matter which row it is located?

Select C7 on sheet Dates.
Click in the address box on the left hand side of the formula bar and replace the cell address with a name, for example WorkOrder5 (don't use spaces in the name) and press Enter.
Switch to the sheet with the Work Orders sheet and right-click the cell with the hyperlink.
Select Edit Hyperlink... from the context menu.
You should now see a section Defined Names in the 'Or select a place in this document' tree, with the name that you created under it.
Select it, then click OK.
