Summary
Browsers typically distinguish visited and unvisited links, but otherwise leave links alone. They may highlight the currently selected link, or display a special cursor. Highlighted links may display a tooltip or explainer.Links may be embedded in text, or separately displayed in navigation panes. They may carry an icon.
The reader's profile or search request may identify potentially relevant links.
Links may be buttons that execute when pressed (cbb 3/07)
