Does anyone have any ideas for how to present hypertext in a way that the average reader can intuitively follow? A book is intuitive because we understand how to turn to the next page well enough that we don't think about it and it doesn't interrupt the story.

One idea I have is to apply hypertext to something pre-existing. For example, Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" is full of vague references to things that happened prior to 1955. The intended audience understood the references back then, thus enriching the reading. Many of those meanings have been lost to most people over time, though. A digital transcription with hyperlinks to explanations would offer further understanding to people today, sort of like the linking in Wikipedia articles.
