Link

What is a Link?

A link connects a reference to a destination, such as another page or section. Its text should help users understand the destination; context and accessibility are part of its quality.

It is the main way to “move” around the web, since it exists on almost any site you visit today, including search engines and social media. 

The most common form of link is through text. Anyone who has ever been online will see underlined words in different colors that, when clicked, take them somewhere else on the internet. This mechanism is characteristic of links and, by the way, is also closely related to the concept of anchor text.

The idea behind this is basically to customize or identify a website or pages in a much more secure and complete way, which leads to the ability to generate a series of guidelines, which in turn allows them to be understood in a much more complete and effective way across their different links.
