Hyperlinks are special parts of a display that, when selected, cause another display to be shown. For example, a shape on a Mimic can be configured to act as a hyperlink to another Mimic. The Mimic that is to be displayed when the hyperlink is selected is referred to as the 'target'. When the shape is selected, the 'target' Mimic is displayed (either in place of the Mimic, or in a new window depending on the configuration of the hyperlink).
