[Tex/LaTex] Hyperlink a word instead of “goto” symbol in beamer

Question

I want to make a beamer presentation and use hyperlinks between pages (in case that someone asks for more details). Generally, I know the procedure that is commonly followed (see example below). Yet, I don't feel satisfied with that way (stylised buttons are OK, but sometimes they are too much, especially when you use many in one page). To be more precise, instead of having the "here" button, I want a word to be the hyperlink itself. For example in the following case, I prefer the word "recoded" to be used as a hyperlink.

I hope this makes sense.

\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames,11pt,mathserif]{beamer} 
\usepackage{appendixnumberbeamer}   
\usepackage{etoolbox}               
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}   
\usecolortheme{rose}     
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\usepackage{appendix}

Answer 1

The syntax of the \hyperlink command is

\hyperlink{<label>}{<link text>}

In your example <link text> is made into a Beamer "goto" button by \beamergotobutton{<link text}. If you don't want the Beamer buttons, just use \hyperlink without the Beamer button commands.

P.S. There are several Beamer buttons, in case you might want them back one day:
