When you're browsing the Web and you see a highlighted and underlined word or phrase on a page, there's a good chance you're looking at a link. These friendly little guys allow you to "jump" to another web site, another frame, or another part of the page you're currently viewing. I think the term "hypertext" comes from the ability of links to quickly send you to another web destination. Just a guess.

Glossary of Technical Theatre Terms
POINT CUE
A cue inserted during / after plotting between two existing cues. (eg 8.5 is inserted between cues 8 and 9 and cues by the stage manager as 8A). Most computer lighting desks have the ability to either insert an additional cue in a sequence, or to link to another cue out of the sequence, and then link back again. Inserting cues into a plotted sequence on a manual lighting desk is more awkward, because it is a running plot (where only the changes between cues are noted down).
