I'm confused, what in Windows 1.0 is, or is being called, a "hyperlink" that's underlined? Is it shown in the screenshots? I wouldn't have expected there would be such thing as a "hyperlink" in Windows 1.0, and am not sure what the author is referring to.

A help file was a bunch of hyperlinked rich-text documents in a single file. The hyperlinks could even span help files, though I don't know which Windows version introduced that. (Edited for tone.)
