Why use citation when hyperlinks exists?
To me, hyperlinks seem superior in every way.
Disturbs the reading less
More convenient to access source
For citations, I click
Get sent to the bibliography
I use the link
Then I have to go back and find where I was in the paper.
I would guess the main reason is that links are not stable?
Yeah, the main reason is link rot.
If one sentence from another article is relevant, it seems better to copy the sentence (and add a link to the context) than expect the reader to find the relevant sentence for themselves.
