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.
