What is defined as a clickable link that redirects you to an email or a webpage?

A clickable link that redirects you to an email or webpage is referred to as a hyperlink. Hyperlinks are fundamental components of the internet, allowing users to navigate between different resources effortlessly. When you click on a hyperlink, it activates a specific action, such as opening a website or launching an email application with a pre-filled email address.

In contrast, terms like "email link" might refer specifically to a hyperlink that opens an email client but do not encompass all the functionalities of a hyperlink. A "shortcut" generally refers to a desktop or file system shortcut to a file or application, rather than the navigational elements used on web pages. "Web address," while related, describes the URL where a resource is located but doesn’t convey the interactive nature of the link itself. Therefore, the most accurate term that captures both functionalities of redirecting to an email and a webpage is a hyperlink.
