Multiple links

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

Hi Nico,

It is not clear to me what you mean by 'choose'.
Do you want 'John' to be hyperlinked?
Or do you want to hyperlink 'John and Mary'?

And how do you tell what people mean if they click John? Should that be
'John' alone or 'John and Mary'?

If you want to open multiple link, you'll need a bit a JavaScript to do that
for you (it is easy, look up window.open()).

It doesn't sound like a hyperlink to me - more like a series of radio
buttons, except that the buttons happen to be text

or maybe checkboxes are a more appropriate analogy
