One way would be via using INDIRECT

Perhaps a simple example to illustrate ..

In Sheet4,

Suppose we list sheetnames across in B1:D1,
eg: Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3

and we have the cell refs of interest listed down in A2:A3,
eg: A1, A3

Then, we could put in B2: =INDIRECT("'" & B$1 & "'!" & $A2)
and copy B2 across & down to D3 ..

B2:D2 will return the same as the link formulas:
=Sheet1!A1, =Sheet2!A1, etc

B3:D3 will return the same as the link formulas:
=Sheet1!A3, =Sheet2!A3, etc

INDIRECT will resolve the concatenation of the sheetname and cell ref text
strings to return the results from the particular sheet and cell listed in
B1:D1, and in A2:A3. So we could design the layout and define / change the
sheetnames and cell ref text strings in the header row/col to suit the
purpose.

And for a neater look, we could also suppress the display of "extraneous"
zeros in Sheet4 via clicking:
Tools Options View tab Uncheck "Zero values" OK
