If a user is physically disabled they may not use a mouse - they might
use a foot pedal. "Click here" is confusing.
Click here is also confusing if you are using a speaking browser which
might say "There is a link entitled _Click Here_". It's better to say
"There is a link entitled _Journal of Documentaion_".
Search engines also work better if meaningful link phrases are used.
There is probably useful info at the W3C WAI Web site at
