What purpose does 'links' serve in the Edit menu?

I have never used them and wonder what they are for?

In order to edit a link, you must first have inserted one. You can do this
via Insert | Hyperlink or Insert | Reference | Cross-reference, with the
"Insert as hyperlink" box checked. Or, if you have "Internet and network
paths with hyperlinks" checked on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools |
AutoCorrect Options, then you will have hyperlinks automatically if you have
typed an email address or URL.

In Word most hyperlinks display the Hyperlink character style, which is blue
and underlined. If you right-click on such a link and choose Edit Hyperlink,
you will see a dialog in which you can choose the have the link display
different text from the underlying hyperlink, and you can also add a
ScreenTip that is different from either.

For example, if you wanted to send someone to the Google home page, you
would type or paste http://www.google.com/. You could then edit that link so
that the ScreenTip said "Google home page" and the text displayed was "here"
(in "Click here to search with Google").

In recent versions of Word, the default is to require users to press Ctrl
while clicking on a hyperlink in order to follow it; this allows an author
to edit the display text directly since clicking in the link doesn't
activate it.
