Styles define the various elements of the way an object will be presented to the user, such as font, size, color, and border. However hyperlinks (or anchors) provide the user with a means of navigating to new areas of the application. Hyperlinks can be displayed in one of four manners depending on its state at a given moment in time. These states are: Normal, Active, Hover, and Visited.
Any link that the user has already visited will be in the Visited state, while links that the user has just clicked on will be in the Active state. If the user has the mouse over a link but has not yet clicked it, the link will be in the Hover state. Any link that does not match one of these states will be in the Normal state.
When setting up link style objects, you are assigning styles to each of these states. Link styles are applied to links on entities. Links are fields that have the Type property set to HRef Link.
