Hi Kevin,
You can have an alternative to hyperlinks, but since you appear
not to know that you can have hyperlinks (Excel 97 and up) why not
use a hyperlink.
See Build Table of Contents
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/buildtoc.htm
and if you use hyperlinks you can use the BACK and FORWARD
buttons (alt+ArrowLeft and alt+ArrowRight) or toolbar buttons.

As far as alternatives you can have a macro that takes the
name in the active cell and goes to that sheet.
Perhaps the easiest of those alternatives is a double-click event macro
