Default Including objects based on a condition

I have a dropdown box that allows the user to select a set of data. In many
instances, the data requires additional information to fully understand. I
would like to link the visibility of this additional data to what is set in
the dropdown box. Normally i would simply set this information to be visible
using conditional formatting. However, the explanation needs to be freeform
... sometimes a table, sometimes verbiage, etc. so that keeping it uniform and
consistent by making data visible in cells is difficult. It would be much
easier to be able to make an object (text object, table object, etc. - which
has this data pre built in what ever format is needed) visible rather than
trying to do this in multiple cells. Is it possible to set such a condition,
i.e, =IF(A1=1, "object1visible",IF(A1=2,"Object2visible"))?

THanks in advance for any suggestions.
