You could try the following:

Suppose your target cell is C5. I'm assuming that you always want C5, not
where the data in C5 may move to.

Try using offset(A1,4,2)

The 4 is how many rows away C5 is from A1.
The 2 is how many columns away C5 is from A1.

In one cell, I want to display the contents of another cell which is part of
a range of cells which contain a list that is constantly being rearranged
(resorted, draged, new data inserted, etc.). Everything I've tried (including
absolute references) results in the display cell pointing to the same data as
the range of cells changes.

Thanks!
