XL functions only return values to their calling cells, not formats.

You could, instead, use an event macro. Put this in your target (i.e.,
non Front Page) worksheet's code module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim rSource As Range
Dim rCharFont As Font
Dim i As Long

On Error GoTo ExitSub
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Set rSource = Worksheets("Front Page").Range("N43")
With Range("A1") 'Change to suit
.NumberFormat = "@"
.Value = rSource.Text
For i = 1 To Len(.Text)
Set rCharFont = rSource.Characters(i, 1).Font
With .Characters(i, 1).Font
.Name = rCharFont.Name
.FontStyle = rCharFont.FontStyle
.Size = rCharFont.Size
.Color = rCharFont.Color
If rCharFont.Subscript Then .Subscript = True
If rCharFont.Superscript Then .Superscript = True
.Underline = rCharFont.Underline
.Shadow = rCharFont.Shadow
.OutlineFont = rCharFont.OutlineFont
.Strikethrough = rCharFont.Strikethrough
End With
Next i
End With
ExitSub:
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub

Is there a way to change the format of how individual characters appear in a
linked cell while maintaining the link?

For example my link: ='Front page'!N43
should equal: 4.6[2] where [2] equals a superscripted 2 colored blue.
(unable to dupe this here hence [2].)

Please let me know.
Thank you.
