How to prevent row/column insertion/deletion from breaking links to other sheets?

Earlier I asked this question : How to create a link with content bound to other cell's content in Google sheets?

And untill now the provided solution was working perfectly for me but now, the problem is : I just realized that whenever I insert/delete a row/column from my referenced sheet the links generated using the aforementioned question's answer will become broken and will link to an other cell/range.

Here's an example to reproduce :

  • On a first sheet, fill A1 with some text
  • On a second sheet, create a link to A1 (using the aforementioned question's answer)
  • Use the link to come back to the first sheet, you should have your cell with text selected
  • Insert a row above row 1
  • Come back to second sheet and try to use the link again : it now selected an empty cell on row one instead of selecting the cell with your text

How can I overcome this problem and have "stable" links that always send me to the same cell using its "reference" and not its location?
