It is possible (even likely) that there is some difference in interpretation of
our comments, with at least me using English as a foreign language. But
agreement on the exact problem was and is what I'm aiming at and I'm glad with
your comment.
I'm also a developer first and a Calc user second (and rarely use names).
As I see it, a name is a reference to something (e.g. a cell, a range or a
formula). In the code, it seems to be handled as a reference, too
(http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/core/tool/token.cxx#3051,
link also meant for me to avoid another search for it). That's why I made no
distinction between a cell containing a pure reference (=C1), or a cell
containing a name (=hlink).

What suprises me, is that when I enter =C1 in cell A2 of attachment #111086,
The cell shows 'A link not in a name' as result, just as the result of C1. So
cell A2 gets the result of the hyperlink function.
Note: my Calc is set to show the result of formulas/references in cells and not
the references/formulas themselves.

And to get back to what I think you want, if cell with names (set to HYPERLINK
functions) should get the result and the special functionality, cells with
references to cells containing HYPERLINK function should just as well.

Do we agree? Or are more iterations needed ;-)
