Alternatively, you can try creating a custom function. With the spreadsheet open, click the Tools menu, then Script editor.... Paste the code into the editor:

/**

 * @param {string} input The Sheet Name
 * @return The Sheet ID
 * @customfunction
 */
function SHEETID(input) {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var tab = ss.getSheetByName(input);
  return tab.getSheetId();
}

=SHEETID("Your Custom Sheet Name")

=SHEETID(A1)

And voila! The unique ID for the tab (in the current spreadsheet) is output. You can hyperlink to it by using the following formula:

=HYPERLINK("#gid="&SHEETID(A1),"Link")
