It sounds logical that if you are refreshing the links, the application opens 
documents that are linked; what sounds like a bug is that the linked document 
isn't closed after the document containing the link is closed. This might be 
worth a bug report.

May be you can asume that hidden documents were not opened by the user, and 
close them:

if the enumeration has elements
    if all remaining documents are hidden
        close the all

You can know if a document was loaded with Hidden set to true in the media 
descriptor by looping through css.frame.XModel.getArgs()

REM  *****  BASIC  *****
Option Explicit

Sub Main
    Dim aArgs(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
    aArgs(0).Name = "Hidden"
    aArgs(0).Value = TRUE

    Dim oDoc as Object
    oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(_
        "private:factory/swriter",_
        "_default",_
        com.sun.star.frame.FrameSearchFlag.ALL,_
        aArgs)
    
    Dim aLoadArgs()
    aLoadArgs = oDoc.getArgs()
    Dim aPropVal
    Dim bHidden as Boolean
    bHidden = FALSE
    For Each aPropVal In aLoadArgs
        If aPropVal.Name = "Hidden" Then
            bHidden = aPropVal.Value
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
    If bHidden Then
        oDoc.close(TRUE)
    End If
End Sub
