What is a link?
👉It is a connection from one web resource to another.
👉A link has two ends, An anchor and direction.
👉The link starts at the “source” anchor and points to the “destination” anchor, which may be any Web resource such as an image, a video clip, a sound bite, a program, an HTML document or an element within an HTML document.
👉You will find many websites or social media platforms ( Like YouTube, Instagram ) which link an image to a URL or a text to a URL etc.
👉This basically means that by using the ‘a’ tag, you can link 1 element of the code to another element that may/may not be in your code.

The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.
The target attribute can have one of the following values:
_self - Default. Opens the document in the same window/tab as it was clicked
_blank - Opens the document in a new window or tab
_parent - Opens the document in the parent frame
_top - Opens the document in the full body of the window
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
