The confusion could be avoided by simply enabling the hidden sheet with a
grayed out tab with the writing "sheet_name - hidden" or something.

Eventually there would be 3 states for a sheet:
1. Hidden
2. Shown
3. Temporarily shown -> reverts back to hidden as soon as you leave the sheet

I understand the coding effort but this would be the right solution imho,
definitely not preventing the user to move to a hidden sheet by simply
providing a message: that is good functionality vs no functionality at all.

Btw: the "no functionality" option is what Excel does (without even prompting a
message).
