The I-10 point being hidden is due to the way the interchange is setup due to each highway leaving each other at the I-10 offramps, but needing the missing graph connection with I-10.

This will allow users browsing I-10 to click the link through to US90 and US98, but not vice versa. You're also creating a HIDDEN_JUNCTION error here.

The graph connection point needs to be either visible on both routes or simply not included. (I kinda favor the latter since other graph connections between I-10 and US 90/98 exist not that far away)

It was just a thought to keep it hidden on US-90/98 there.

Duke87, I believe you mean VISIBLE_HIDDEN_COLOC. These can be marked FP, and sometimes there's legitimate reason to create them.
The most familiar example for most of us may be the former end of I-22, before I-269 was completed, with a hidden point on US78 IIRC.
There are places in Europe where a Tier 1 route transitions to a lower-tier route, at like a subregion boundary or maybe a major river or whatever, all freeway or expressway, no entrance or exit. An E Road concurrent with both routes will have a hidden point at the transition.

IMO, the fact that the link cannot be followed from both routes isn't necessarily a reason to not still allow it for one. I think it can be useful sometimes, and have done this a few places in Texas.

All that said, that "other graph connections between I-10 and US 90/98 exist not that far away" is a point worth considering too.

Yes, I do. Brain went to the first one I remembered, but that is a distinct one isn't it.

Anyway, okay, if there is precedent for this form of one-way graph connection and it can be FPed out of the datacheck error log then I withdraw my objection. It is less janky than an extra visible point on US90 and US98, certainly.
