Hyperlink

From Dharmasphere

A hyperlink (or simply "link") is a reference made in an online document to another resource on the World Wide Web. The resource may be, for example, a web page, website, image, audio file or any other location on the Web.

When a hyperlink is embedded in a web page, it allows a user to navigate away from the page and towards the resource that is being linked to. For example, this sentence contains a link to the Wikipedia article on hyperlinks.

Embedding Hyperlinks
