Default can you link a text box to a cell in excel?

I am wondering if data from a text box in one worksheet can be linked to a
cell in another worksheet. Thank you.

You can go from a cell to a text box, but I want to go from a text box to a
cell or range of cells.

Looks like its possible ..

In Sheet2,
I drew a text box,
clicked to select its borders (or press F2),
then placed into the formula bar, say: =Sheet1!A1
then clicked out of the text box

And the text box would display the contents of Sheet1's A1
