There are no dumb questions. I suspect it's the really smart people who
ask questions like this one.
It's about choices. If you left-click some links (Like a pdf), the
document is likely to open in a browser window. Right-click, "Save
target as" will allow you to save the document to your HD or some other
location (In most cases). In other words, you can modify the default
behavior of a link to suit your own purposes.
Try this with various kinds of files and see the possibilities.
