Talk:hyperlink

Is the "by extension" correct?

This suggests that the physical, clickable object on a page is the original sense, and the more abstract meaning (the link itself, rather than the rendered on-screen representation) came later, "by extension". Is that really true? Equinox ◑ 04:34, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

• 2000 June, Nicholas von Hoffman, “AD Electronica: Architectural Tours on the Internet: Making Virtual Visits Around the World”, in Architectural Digest, volume 57, number 6, page 140, column 2:

  The site with the largest number of pictures, good documentation and informative hyperlinking is www.archinform.de, a German Web site where you can click on an English-language button to make it all comprehensible to non-Teutophones.

@Equinox: You removed hyperlinking (“"hyperlinking" is a verb form, not a noun derived directly from the noun. add verb-derived hyperlinkable”); I wanted to add this quotation but I am not sure which verb sense fits. J3133 (talk) 17:40, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
