I think we should remove the text:

"To follow a link, click Mouse-1 on it, or move to it and type RET."

It is useless.  Most users already know how to follow a link, because
everybody uses Web browsers nowadays.  And this text wastes two valuable
lines on the About screen.

Instead of this, I propose adding a help-echo property to every link,
which says what this link does.  This is especially useful when the link
leads to some URL.
