One of the spreadsheets there contains a URL that is not linked from anywhere else and impossible to guess. If that URL ever gets tripped it will send me an email and the day that happens is the day I'll stop using google services (so far so good, and of course I should say 'google drive' now instead of 'google docs').

How would you know it was google indexing your document vs., say, your browser prefetching the link?

Because my browser has never looked at the document with the link in it. Obviously that would defeat the purpose.
