Please consider reading the rest of this thread before you keep fighting developers to do it your way.

After that if you still want "click here" that's your call but at least be open to better alternatives rather this dismissing this discussion.

I'm not explicitly talking about just "click here". I'd say it has it's place sometimes but it's rare. But a lot of developers have issues with redundancy or explicitly spelling things out for users for things that are "obvious".

With enough experience you learn that what is obvious is less obvious than it appears.
