It does not matter if for hacker or not. Hypertext systems existed
long before the WWW.
Org - it has hypertext capacity and is not related to WWW, but can be
published to WWW.
GNU Hyperbole is a hypertext system, it has capacity to build such. It
makes hypertext out of everything.
xref package is specific hypertext system that uses Emacs Lisp
definitions for cross references.
eev - it is hypertext system
Texinfo is hypertext system
Emacs has more of it as built-in, for example `button.el' library for
clickable buttons.
And I am sure I missed some of those.
Outside of Emacs there is so much more.
If somebody knows if I can do more with Texinfo hyperlinks in Emacs
let me know. Maybe I can make those hyperlinks more dynamic, for
example by pressing a and hyperlink, maybe I can get its attributes,
by pressing r and hyperlink maybe I could get relations, by activing I
could go to target and similar, that is what I am looking for, a
hyperlink that can be activated in numerous ways.
