  Can you imagine it in paper documents or anywhere that is not hypertext?

    Yes, I've seen it used as a way to steer the reader to open their browser for further information with URL written in plain text. Like hyper footnote

      Notice how you already infer all of this without the context of an external link icon?

    Yes, I would expect to see it in books about web design, for instance.
