--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Feasible options to solve the reasonable issue are

 a) switch anyway (and show the hidden sheet, maybe only temporarily)
    alternatively unhide the hidden sheet permanently, since the
    temporary action might be surprising
 b) show some info bar, message box, balloon tip
 c) disable the link and change the appearance accordingly

We have to consider protected sheets where switching is not an option, so a) is
not applicable in all situations. The idea of c) to disable the link was
rejected since it might be hard to understand for users. So what remains is b).

We suggest to go with a balloon tip since an infobar would move the sheet
content downward and be rather a global information anyway than related to the
actual cell/action. And the message box is too interruptive.
