text link

Underlined web reference

A text link is a clickable piece of text on a webpage or in a document that navigates to another location—a different page, a section within the same page, or a downloadable file.

Text links are typically distinguished by color or underlining: The blue text links stood out against the black body text.

Distinguished from image links or buttons.
