Links that link to more information within a page. 

I’ve been thinking lately about link signifiers. This is a perfect example of why I believe there should be another way of indicating that a link will simply un-hide information in the page versus whether it will take you to a new page in a more classic link (hyper-text) way. 

In this example “view source” and “API documentation” result in totally different things. I completely missed the tip off with the cryptic eyeball icon next to “view source.”

So I right clicked “view source” so that I could open it in another tab. Which led to an error. When I clicked “view source” within the page there was a nice slide-down animation that was a total surprise! 

However clicking API documentation in the second link provided, which slides down with the page as you can see, results in a totally new page of API documentation.
