  hyperlink
       
           A reference (link) from some point in one
          {hypertext} document to (some point in) another document or
          another place in the same document.  A {browser} usually
          displays a hyperlink in some distinguishing way, e.g. in a
          different colour, font or style.  When the user activates the
          link (e.g. by clicking on it with the {mouse}) the {browser}
          will display the target of the link.
