Run VBA by clicking on a cell instead of using ActiveX Control (Command Button)

Most of my spreadsheet are shared by a number of people that use different computer setups, different monitor resolutions and thru a Remote desktop connection.
The Command buttons I use to run some VBA often grow and shrink, often covering up the data.
I have searched and this appears to be an Excel issue.

My question is can you run VBA without using a command button. Perhaps a hyperlink in a cell of the spreadsheet.
 
VBA Code:
Private Sub worksheet_selectionchange(ByVal target As Range)

I tried to add the same code twice on the same sheet and ran into an error.
In the code above can selectionchange be changed to whatever I want this to be meaning I can make this selectionchange2 on my 2nd piece of code.

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You can use the same worksheet_selection change sub, just add another section to it like this.
If Not Intersect(Range("A3"), target) Is Nothing Then
'do something
End If

To be a bit more clear…

Private Sub worksheet_selectionchange(ByVal target As Range)

If Not Intersect(Range("L5"), target) Is Nothing Then
'do something
End If

If Not Intersect(Range("A3"), target) Is Nothing Then
'do something
End If
End Sub
