In my lynx environment one must use shift + l (ie, capital 'L'), to
invoke this command, whose name is LIST.

And, no matter what the keymap might be, one can call it by typing ':'
followed by 'LIST'. (Just ':list', in lowercase, seems to work, too).

Also useful, in case you would like to search for a particular url, is
the command ADDRLIST, which is just like LIST except that it names all
links with their url, (thereby enabling searches for urls).

I have ADDRLIST mapped to capital 'A'. Enter ':keymap' to find the
shortcuts in your environment.

It looks to me like you have concisely summed up an explanation
yourself.

And lynx can, when you tell it to.

If I understand you correctly, you would like hidden links to appear
on the rendered page.

While I hope you find a satisfactory solution, and I look forward to
reading about any you find, the question arises: Where in the rendered
page ought lynx to place these no-longer-hidden links?

As Karen points out, we cannot sensibly look to the intentions of the
author of the web page to give lynx any guidance here, since the web
page's author has explicitly told lynx to hide them!

Kind regards.
