Invented. The document referenced is a proposal. A few comments about
the referenced document...
The inability to embed links into a document is not the fault of the
protocol, but a fact of that document's format. One can easily serve a
Hypertext document on a Gopher site and links will work just fine.
Also, Gopher *can* "associate a freeform label directly with a file";
this is done in the menu.
There's also a standard mechanism to identify attributes of Gopher items
using Gopher+, e.g., +INFO, +ADMIN, +ABSTRACT blocks, effectively making
the proposal unnecessary.
