When the protection means that you can't select text at the bookmarked destination why do you think you can get the cursor to go there by following a hyperlink?

You are going to have to change your approach with either the protection or the macro for the hyperlinks.

Are you using Content Controls for the data entry? If so, I would select all and group on the Developer Tab to implement a 'poor man's protection' which will still allow selections (but not edits) outside of the CCs.
