#Hivemind, if you are preparing a manuscript and can make normal hyperlinks where the URL is hidden but you can click on some colored text in order to go to a destination, do you use this feature of PDFs?

Pros: takes up less space since the URL isn't shown as text.
Cons: if a paper is printed, readers only have the text of your link (not the URL) to find the resource.

(In my case, I'm imagining e.g. naming a social media site or other web-based service and providing a link to it--they're almost always identifiable w/o the URL)

@_dmh I'd say your use case is very reasonable, but I probably still wouldn't do it, just out of convention 😳
