Speaking of clickable options, I read the second "Machine of Death" anthology a month or so back. One of the stories, "Your Choice", was written in the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" format: numbered sections with a choice at the bottom of each that would point to a different section based on the reader's choice. ("If you go upstairs, go to section 25. If you go downstairs, go to section 37.")

That would have been a perfect place for internal hyperlinks...but the publisher didn't do it. That was such a missed opportunity that I called it out in my review.
