    - #### isValid

          public boolean isValid()

      Since the document a link is associated with may have changed, this method returns whether this Link is valid anymore (with respect to the document it references).

        `isValid` in class `AccessibleHyperlink`
      Returns:
        a flag indicating whether this link is still valid with respect to the AccessibleHypertext it belongs to

    - #### getAccessibleActionCount

          public int getAccessibleActionCount()

      Returns the number of accessible actions available in this Link If there are more than one, the first one is NOT considered the "default" action of this LINK object (e.g. in an HTML imagemap). In general, links will have only one AccessibleAction in them.
      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleActionCount` in interface `AccessibleAction`
      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleActionCount` in class `AccessibleHyperlink`
      Returns:
        the zero-based number of Actions in this object

    - #### doAccessibleAction

          public boolean doAccessibleAction(int i)

      Perform the specified Action on the object
      Specified by:
        `doAccessibleAction` in interface `AccessibleAction`
      Specified by:
        `doAccessibleAction` in class `AccessibleHyperlink`
      Parameters:
        `i` - zero-based index of actions
      Returns:
        true if the the action was performed; else false.
      See Also:
        `getAccessibleActionCount()`

    - #### getAccessibleActionDescription

          public String getAccessibleActionDescription(int i)

      Return a String description of this particular link action. The string returned is the text within the document associated with the element which contains this link.
      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleActionDescription` in interface `AccessibleAction`
      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleActionDescription` in class `AccessibleHyperlink`
      Parameters:
        `i` - zero-based index of the actions
      Returns:
        a String description of the action
      See Also:
        `getAccessibleActionCount()`

    - #### getAccessibleActionObject

          public Object getAccessibleActionObject(int i)

      Returns a URL object that represents the link.
      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleActionObject` in class `AccessibleHyperlink`
      Parameters:
        `i` - zero-based index of the actions
      Returns:
        an URL representing the HTML link itself
      See Also:
        `getAccessibleActionCount()`

    - #### getAccessibleActionAnchor

          public Object getAccessibleActionAnchor(int i)

      Return an object that represents the link anchor, as appropriate for that link. E.g. from HTML: Accessibility this method would return a String containing the text: 'Accessibility'.
