I would suggest "label" >(that is, more formally, "link label"). I like "explainer", actually, but then I learned it in high school when using an experimental Hypertext system at Brown -- so it's been in my vocabulary for a long time. I don't like the terms description or caption in any permutations or variations because they imply formatting semantics. -- David I am not a number.
