No, that term was created by folks who wanted to distinguish
links in streaming media from those in static renderings.

Sure. Please feel free to indicate terms that can be misunderstood,
but don't ask me to find "better" terms just because they seem
unfamiliar or awkward. "information space", for example, is a
well-understood term in hypertext research and information
retrieval/visualization. I have seen it used at WWW, hypertext,
CHI, and software engineering conferences, and it means the same
thing for all of them.
