Version 9.0.1 of package Hyperbole has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Hyperbole describes itself as:

## Summary:
GNU Hyperbole (pronounced Gnew Hi-per-bo-lee), or just Hyperbole, is like
Markdown for hypertext, letting you use little or no markup in files to
produce easy-to-navigate hypermedia files. It is an easy-to-use, yet
powerful and programmable hypertextual information management system
implemented as a GNU Emacs package. It offers rapid views and interlinking
of all kinds of textual information, utilizing Emacs for editing. It can
dramatically increase your productivity and greatly reduce the number of
keyboard/mouse keys you'll need to work efficiently.
Hyperbole lets you:

** ACE WINDOW PACKAGE INTEGRATION - fast window and buffer switching
*** After installing the ace-window package and loading Hyperbole, execute
(hkey-ace-window-setup "\M-o") to enable the following capabilities:
*** Fast Window Links: The hkey-window-link command quickly creates links
to other windows:
{M-o w <window>} - creates an explicit button linked to point in
<window>
{C-u M-o w <window>} - creates an unnamed implicit button linked to
point
in <window>
{M-1 M-o w <window>} - creates a named implicit button linked to point
in <window>
See "(hyperbole)Create Link Button".
** ACTION AND ASSIST (SMART) KEYS (See "(hyperbole)Smart Keys").
*** Angle Bracket and Braces Thing Selection: In text and fundamental modes,
an Action Key press on an angle bracket or a curly brace selects the
region between a matching pair. See "(hyperbole)Smart Key Thing
Selection".
*** Drag Button Referents to Specific Windows: Just as you previously could
drag Dired or Buffer Menu items to display in a specific window, you
can now do the same with Hyperbole Buttons. Action or Assist Key drag
from a Hyperbole button and release in another window where you want
the button's referent (or the result of its action) displayed. If you
release the Smart Key outside of an Emacs window, the referent is
displayed in a new frame. See "(hyperbole)Displaying Items".
Visual pulsing of the source line and the destination buffer highlights
the transfer taking place (hmouse-pulse-flag controls this).
Dragging a button to a modeline splits the window of the modeline and
displays the referent in the leftmost or uppermost of the split windows.
*** Drag to Create Implicit Link Buttons: An Assist Mouse Key drag across
windows (when not starting from a draggable item) creates an implicit
link button with an action type determined by the referent at the point
of button release. This parallels the same Action Mouse Key drag which
creates explicit link buttons. See "(hyperbole)creating implicit
links".
Previously this drag would swap buffers in windows. Now you must drag
from open space in a modeline of the depress window to the buffer text
in the release window to swap buffers in windows.
Alternatively, with two windows in a frame, you can create an implicit
link button from point to the point of the other buffer with {C-h h i l}.
*** Hyperbole Symbol Tags: Hyperbole now includes a pre-built TAGS file so
that an Action Key press on any Hyperbole symbol jumps to its
definition without the need for any additional support. This also
works on Hyperbole type names (which have a hidden prefix) in a help
buffer where an Action Key press displays the type definition.
*** Lisp Load, Autoload and Require Expressions: Action Key press on any
named target in such expressions displays the associated library.
*** Lisp Action Button Help: Action Buttons that utilize regular Lisp
functions (rather than Hyperbole Action Types) can now have :help
functions run with a press of the Assist Key on such buttons. See
"(hyperbole)Action Buttons".
*** Smart Dired: Action Key subdirectory selection at point now works on
any dired header line, not just the first one. Use {i} to insert
multiple subdirectories in Dired mode. Smart Key end-of-line behavior
is no longer specified in Dired mode but handled globally for
consistency across modes. See "(hyperbole)Smart Key - Dired Mode".
** ACTION TYPES (See "(hyperbole)Action Types").
*** display-boolean, display-value, display-variable: Made all of these
