I think the problem is context. Yes, you called it simply "a link" but you did so in the context of purported failures by two HTML-oriented modules.

Just as you probably wouldn't want to use a fishing net to dig potatoes, the links for which those modules fish are HTML links; rooting around in javascript or styling links with CSS requires a different tool.

I am unaware of any alternate name or word; I think the solution is to be cautious on your context.
