This phrase "GET link" I keep seeing makes sense, but strikes me as odd. Is that to differentiate from an "a" tag that triggers JS that makes a fetch/xhr with another method? The only non-JS non-GET request I'm aware of is a form action (POST by default, GET if specified) which can hardly be called a link, unless I'm wrong to equate link with "a" tag.
