Re: does elinks have a show hidden links option?

I would add too that since my main question is in the subject line, i. e. yes elinks has this option or no, it does not...end of discussion. If any aspect of the thread reflects that amusing x y theory, it is the focus upon the captcha smiles.

Actually,
the problem with the assumption here is, I am using a Linux shell, not a computer running Linux. 
When using a shell, one cannot access playback in that fashion at all.
Do those steps from a command line shell, and you might be getting close.
I will add again,  the shell does not reach a sound card etc.
Now if the captcha reflected the thoughts of some with the w3c, i. e. its a math problem, its a honey pot, its something that does not require images at all, The captcha..which is not the main thrust of my problem, would be nowhere in this discussion. The main thrust of my problem is accessing the hidden links, assuming they are there, on the paypal page after I have logged in, and am trying to pay a money request.

 To enable some interactive control (like making volume adjustments)
 over the application that my text browser launches to play external
 audio files, I put the following lines in my home directory's .mailcap
 file:

  $ grep '^audio' ~/.mailcap
  audio/x-wav; vlc -I rc %s; nametemplate=%s.wav; needsterminal;
  description="WAV Audio"
  audio/mpeg; vlc -I rc %s; nametemplate=%s.mpg; needsterminal;
  description="MPEG Audio"
  audio/mpegurl; vlc -I rc %s; nametemplate=%s.m3u; needsterminal;
  description="MPEG Audio URL"
  audio/x-mp3; vlc -I rc %s; nametemplate=%s.mp3; needsterminal;
  description="MPEG Audio"
  audio/mpeg4; vlc -I rc %s; needsterminal; description="MPEG-4 Audio"

 (The "-I rc" option string to vlc seems to be synonymous with "-I cli")

 When the browser launches vlc, there is a command line interface (with
 prompt '>') that understands commands like

 help       # view all available commands
 [hint: there are many; use Shift+UpArrow to see what scrolled off the
 screen]

  quit       # quit vlc
  repeat     # toggle playing track over and over
  loop       # toggle playing playlist over and over; easier to type than
  repeat
  volume 300 # unsure what the scale is, but 256 seems to mean "100%"
  pause      # toggle pause state; paused/unpaused
  play       # resume playback
  seek 150   # go to 150 second mark)
  rate 0.5   # play at half-speed; only works reliably with local files

 For example, the following session toggles looping on (default was
 off), resumes playback (in case it had already ended), pauses
 playback, sets volume to 300, resumes (unpauses) playback, and then
 quits

 VLC media player 2.2.7 Umbrella (revision 2.2.7-0-g6e32381286)
 [various error messages snipped]
 [some memory address] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "*console".
 VLC media player 2.2.7 Umbrella
 Command Line Interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

 Lynx consults mailcap. And, according to this manual page, so does
 elinks:
