Conditional hyperlinks to cells in Numbers spreadsheet

Question

I'm working on a project that consists of multiple spreadsheets for Excel, LibreOffice Calc and Numbers. The ones for Calc and Numbers are based on the Excel one because I have the biggest experience in it. So one of the main functions that I use is HYPERLINK, which makes hyperlinks to the cells of the spreadsheet, and I found out that it won't work as expected in Numbers because the cell linking is not provided by this function here. Moreover, I use HYPERLINK to create conditional hyperlinks, e. g. =IF(A1=1;HYPERLINK("#C29";"Example");"") is a hyperlink only if A1 is 1 - that means that a static hyperlink can't solve my problem.
So is there any way to create a conditional hyperlink to any other cell in the same spreadsheet in Numbers?

BB,
Interesting post. Thanks. I can't get by this message on my machine why I choose 'Open URL' per your instructions:
(I do have permissions to open the file.)
But I can open the file by selecting the cell with the "browser address" (file:///...) and running the script below.
When you have docs saved by Preview in iCloud what does the "browser address" for those look like?
SG
--opens a file whose address is in the currently selected cell in Numbers 3
tell application "Numbers" to tell the front document to tell active sheet to tell (first table whose class of selection range is range)
          set theURL to value of the first cell of the selection range
          tell application "System Events" to do shell script "open " & quoted form of theURL
end tell
--end of script
