hyperlinks to pictures/charts
 

Good afternoon,

I am having difficulty coming up with a way to have links to certain
files,images or charts that I want to hide, but only show up when a link is
summoned.

example: Lets say that in Sheet 1 I have several drop down menus, depending
on what the user chooses a number is automatically generated. This number
generated, I want it to be linked to a certain image or file(pdf) that I
would like. If I have to make a new sheet for each file (I have 28 pdf files
that i need to insert, they are all images by the way) that will add to many
sheets and look cluttered! Can i some how hide them and have them appear only
when they are needed to be summoned, I mean once the user selects option via
menus and a number is generated it also creates a hyperlink to that image
that is tied to the number generated... Or should I just put all of the 28
(pdf/images) in a single sheet and then do a hyperlink to the cell that
pertain to that paticular pdf file?

I hope I made myself clear enough =)

Thank you in advance,

Tony G.
