{remarks}To create a hyperlink, use [Element.InsertHyperlinkBefore()|Element.InsertHyperlinkBefore(String, String)].  To get the hyperlinks in a [Document|Document], use the [Element.GetElements()|Element.GetElements(Element.Type)] method with a [Element.Type.Hyperlink|Element.Type#Hyperlink] parameter.

The following sample demonstrates creating a hyperlink at the end of a new document and retrieving the first hyperlink of an existing document.
