Multiple links

[Nico]

I have an idea but don't know if it's possible, from a technical point
of view.
Imagine to have some text.

Example
"John and Mary go to the cinema."

I'd like to have this kind of links.
By selecting "John" I can go to:
Link 1 (eg. page 1)
Link 2 (eg. page 2)
Link ...

By selecting "John and Mery" I can go to:
Link 4 (eg. page 4)
Link 5 (eg. page 5)
Link ...

So, the word John can be included in two links.
The links are multidirected.
Do you know if there is a package useful for this purpose?
On the contrary, do you have some suggestion useful to achieve this goal?
I really don't know how to start.

It could be nice to have this possibility.

Example
"John and Mary go to the cinema."

I could choose:

"[John] and Mary go to the cinema."
and then go to select among the possible "John" links.

or:

"[John and Mary] go to the cinema."
and then go to select among the possible "John and Mary" links.

What do you think?
Many thanks.

Cheers,
Nico

using javascript [because that is the subject of this NG]:

<script type='text/javascript'>
var john=false;
</script>
<span
onclick='location.href=(john)?"http://john":"http://extra..mary";'>
Extra words <span onclick='john=true;'>
John
</span>
and Mary
</span>
go to the cinema.

The links are multidirected.

eh?

Not sure I follow what you are after rather clearly.
