It definitely did -- they weren't in color though.

I'm not sure if HyperCard ever had full color support? There was some support for color images in a later version of HyperCard, but did color text ever make it before it was shut down completely?

They were invisible. In HyperCard you could make any region of the screen clickable, and run a script when it was clicked. Not unlike the image maps that websites used to use. You would normally include something visual in the clickable region, but you didn't have to.

I believe the mouse cursor would change if you put it inside a clickable region.

Sarah McLachlann released a CD album with unemphasized hotlinks that didn't even change the cursor shape. I quickly went from adoration to pure hatred of her, clicking on every spot on the page to see if it revealed anything more.

What does it mean for a CD to have hotlinks?
