hotlink
/hot'link/, n.
A {hot spot} on a World Wide Web page; an area, which, when clicked or
selected, chases a URL. Also spelled `hot link'. Use of this term
focuses on the link's role as an immediate part of your display, as
opposed to the timeless sense of logical connection suggested by {web
pointer}. Your screen shows hotlinks but your document has web
pointers, not (in normal usage) the other way around.
