I can't tell what I'd do if I were a different person. But I bet 99.99% of Kindle users have NO idea about what 99.99% of ebook builders know or do not know (let alone of what can or cannot be done).
If I see something that might look like an interactive element, that might link to something I'd like to see, sure, I'd click. What do I have to lose? It's not like I have to get out of bet, get dressed and climb a tree to try, it's just touching the screen, and I'll have to touch it anyway to turn the page... why not try? If it works, nice; if it doesn't, I can rant about 99.99% of ebook builders
Now, there may be hidden links. Maybe the asterism used for scene breaks links to an extra "chapter", and I'd probably not try to click on it. The closing quote mark could be a link to a footnote, and I'd miss it. But an asterisk in the middle of the text? A superscript number or dagger? You'd have me clicking before I reach that sentence, underline or not (and if there's an underline I'd be cursing the ebook builder for not removing it, I don't need and it looks ugly).

Or are you really thinking about ePUB, here?

This being the ePub forum, and I reading only ePub books... yes, I'm thinking of ePub.
