Sidebar hidden pages error as invalid link

[rafmuller]

Describe the bug

If you configure a page that you don't want to have showing up as a sidebar page.

sidebar:
  hidden: true

Then the validation fails even if the links are correct.

 validating links 
10:09:23 [ERROR] ✗ Found 1 invalid link in 1 file.
10:09:23 ▶ docs/guides/vxlan/nd/learning_lab/building-data-model/
10:09:23   └─ /docs/guides/vxlan/nd/learning_lab/reference/understanding-nd-poap - invalid link

To Reproduce

One a MD document, include:

sidebar:
   hidden: true

Then the validation fails for a reference to that page.

Expected behavior

Expect the validation to pass since it is a valid link, just not visible from the sidebar.

How often does this bug happen?

Every time

Thanks for your feedback :raised_hands:

I've try setting up a reproduction but so far, I'm unable to reproduce a similar behavior.

Would you be able to provide a small reproduction of the issue where the validation fails for such a case?
