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?
I'm still waiting for the answer...
