Windows 10: Rename a web address link

I am trying to learn how to rename a web link. Using the instructions

Here
The instructions didn't work verbatim but with some experimenting I did manage to achieve the results you see.
Is this a feature that has more to do with the browser than Windows 10?
Following the same instructions I achieved better results with ubuntu 16.04/ firefox??
Most online forums provide a tool to insert a link, this forum included, but.
How about if I wanted to rename a web link in an email ( I use gmail )? Or if I just wanted to rename a web link and save it in my saved links in my documents?
All help appreciated.
My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong sub- forum.

Renaming Tiles in Windows 10

My case was to rename the tiles of web links in Windows 10. First I looked at the path folder of links already present (for me: Program data, Microsoft, Windows, Start Menu, Programs). Then I opened with Chrome the page that I want to connect, I select
the address www ... and I dragged it on the desktop. Here I've renamed it the way I want. Then I copied it into the path folder (Program data.....). Then I searched it in the Start Menu of Windows 10, all apps, and once I found it, pin to start.

HTML Code: will display as "my website" and when clicked will goto www.website.com[/quote] [/quote] Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately this doesn't totally answer my question.

 

to rename a favorite link - just right-click and rename - just like any other shortcut..

else, I do not understand what you are asking or trying to do..

 

In Fossamail (A Thunderbird clone) I just click on Insert then Link and in the resulting popup I name the link to whatever I want then insert the link itself which shows as the name I gave it in the email body. Not sure if Gmail has the same feature but look for something like insert link or insert hyperlink.

 

Thank you, Firefox does not give me that option. Which browser are you using?

 

Thank you, Gmail does have this option.
