The standard way to activate a link is to "click" on an anchor. Anchors are typically words or phrases, and provide little information about their destination. Some systems provide a little more information before actually following a link. In Hyperties for instance, a short description of the destination node is given when the cursor is moved over the anchor leading to it. In most WWW browsers the full URL of the destination is given when the cursor is moved over the anchor.
