A hyperlink is a selectable object that includes the path information to another object. The object can be a target on the same document, a file on the same computer, or a uniform resource locator giving the location of a web page halfway around the world. The process of creating a hyperlink is exactly the same in all cases. Some point on the document or webpage is turned into an active spot which includes the path information and by clicking on it will take you to a specific destination.
