What led you to come up with this interpretation? [3].
A target *reference* will *always* export and create a clickable link
irrespective how the target is *defined*.

I think there is an element of confusion about what invisible target is.
After some digging, I realize that they were originally called as
invisible anchors.
The manual [1] has the following note:
,----
| * Matt Lundin has proposed last-row references for table formulas
| and named invisible anchors.
`----
The original post [2] from Matt says
,----
| # <<radiotarget>>
|
| should become
|
| <a name="radiotarget"></a>
`----
Now the question is what is invisible? The "description" in <a ...> </a>
becomes invisible.
Why was the term invisible chosen in the first place. For this one has
to look at the the "default" behaviour for targets which is to export
with *both* the anchor name and anchor description.
So, I think a correction is in order.

[3] If I export the following unit test snippet, the produced output
from LaTeX/PDF has *just* "Paragraph" and nothing else.
,----
| Paragraph.
| #+TARGET: Test
| [[Test]]
