I’m struggling to wrap my head around exactly what you need.

Typically speaking if content is hidden, even if it’s in a popular construct like an accordion or carousel, people won’t explore it to view the content.

But I’ve also built sites that use AJAX to show/hide content as if they were separate pages because someone wanted pages to fade from one to the other. That’s a horse of a different color I think, and as long as someone can manipulate the URI to get what they need and it preserves the history for back/next it’s fine.
