I stumbled upon this issue while trying to migrate to LibreOffice and would
like to restate the problem:
the request primarily concerns a Back button that would send you back to the
previous position after clicking on a hyperlink (=position of the previously
clicked hyperlink) with one click. There is no other way to achieve this: for
example the Navigator would offer you a long list of names, images etc in the
entire document, but no way to easily find and directly select the last element
you had your cursor on before the clicking the last hyperlink (if there happens
to be any at all).
Since Writer already has such a feature, it should be relatively easy to
implement in Calc as well.
Since Calc also has hyperlinks like Writer, why have Back/Forward buttons only
in Writer and not also in Calc?

A couple of additions for the sake of better clarity:
1. This is not about springing among different files. A Calc hyperlink can also
be used to open another file (Calc or other), but the button I am referring to
would just get you back to the last hyperlink in the same Calc file
2. Actually the only important button is the Back button. Instead ot the
forward button, you can just click on the hyperlink again to move forward
again.
3. This does no need to get you back to the last modified position of the Calc
document (as mentioned in some other post above, which would be more
complicated to implement) -> the requested behaviour is just to get back to the
last hyperlink that was clicked. This should be much easier to realize.
