As documented in "Literary Machines" and elsewhere, Xanadu hyperlinks have a "type" endset as well as a "from" and a "to" endset for just this reason (that is, allowing an infinitely extensible set of link types). They also have a "home" endset, representing the document in which the link is contained, which is therefore not necessarily the same as the document the link points from or to, a capability sadly missing from WWW. I am continually fascinated how pioneering designs are recapitulated...
