  There are no links on the page. There are spans, styled to look like links, with an attached event handler which sends some cryptic ID associated with the pseudo-link to the server over a websocket. The server sends back messages on the websocket which look like: url_call /page/pliant/ZI0TDFOV/0DFXKE5\u0001\u0002 The handler on the websocket reads the messages (in a slightly roundabout way) and passes them to a function which parses them (in a highly roundabout way), and then goes into a big if-else ladder which dispatches on the first token to do various things; commands supported are: section_overwrite section_head section_tail section_before section_after section_delete image_write image_copy url_call url_jump url_return focus_set scroll hook_visible clipboard_trigger javascript The url_call command winds up doing this: window.location.href = decodeURI(arg[1]); It's ingenious, but completely demented and unnecessary.
