I need to access links from several locations in the presentation.

Instead of repeating inserting the links in those several locations, I put them in the last slide, and access them, when needed, by going to this last slide.

For easier accessing those links, is it possible to insert them in the sidebar, instead of putting them in the last slide!

Another issue, why when I uncomment the line

\label{linka}

the compilation stops?

If you just want to add something to the existing sidebar, you could use \addtobeamertemplate{sidebar left}{<stuff before the existing sidebar>}{<stuff after the existing sidebar>}:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{PaloAlto}


\addtobeamertemplate{sidebar left}{}{%
  \usebeamerfont{section in sidebar}%
  ~\hyperlink{linka}{\textcolor{green}{linka}}\par\medskip
  ~\hyperlink{linkb}{\textcolor{cyan}{linkb}}\par\medskip
  ~\hyperlink{linkc}{\textcolor{brown}{linkc}}\par\medskip
  ~\hyperlink{linkd}{\textcolor{red}{linkd}}\par
  \vfill
}


\begin{document}


\section[sec1]{Section1}


\begin{frame}[t]
 \frametitle{Cross Section at a}
  hello \textcolor{green}{linka}
  \hypertarget{linka}
  hello
\end{frame}


\section[sec2]{Section2}
\begin{frame}[t]
 \frametitle{Cross Section at b}
  hello \textcolor{blue}{linkb}
  \hypertarget{linkb}
  hello
\end{frame}


\section[sec3]{Section3}
\begin{frame}[t]
 \frametitle{Cross Section at c}
  hello \textcolor{brown}{linkc}
  \hypertarget{linkc}
  hello
\end{frame}


\section[sec4]{Section4}
\begin{frame}[t]
 \frametitle{Cross Section at d}
  hello \textcolor{red}{linkd}
  \hypertarget{linkd}
  hello
\end{frame}


\end{document}
