Abstract: A system, method, and software product create contextual hypertext links relevant to a user selected portion of a source document. The contextual links enable the user to dynamically associate the source document with any available target document, regardless of whether links where created between the source document and the target document when the source document was created. The method includes selecting terms relevant to the user selected portion by linguistic analysis which selects the most frequently occurring terms. From the selected terms target documents relevant to the selected terms are identified. The target documents are selected by identifying topics that are associated with, or described by, the selected terms. Contextual links are created between the selected terms and target documents associated with the identified topics using the URLs for the documents in the contextual links.
