# Using Internal Document Links for Faster Navigation

### Summary

Use vLex Library's internal link previews to get context on a citation without leaving your current document. Simply hover over any internal link to see a summary card with key information.

### Why This is Important

This feature provides a seamless research experience, saving you time and preventing disruption to your workflow. You can quickly assess the relevance of a cited case or statute without needing to open multiple tabs, keeping your research focused.

### How to Use Link Previews

1. While reading any document, locate an internal link (typically blue and underlined).
2. Hover your mouse cursor over the link. **Do not click.**
3. A small dialogue box will appear, showing a preview of the linked document.
   * For **case law**, the preview may show citation data and treatment information.
   * For **legislation**, the preview will show the name of the law and a snippet of text for context.
