This essay presents a brief discussion of combining temporal aspects of multimedia presentations with hypertext links. Three ways of combining linking with temporally synchronized components of a presentation are described. We describe work that has been done to incorporate both temporal and linking information within the W3C language SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language). We conclude with a discussion of future directions, namely providing support for linking within and among non-linear presentations and the ability to add temporal information to existing XML document languages.
