I have to disagree on that. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any
site that does it like that. But that's subjective, of course. My real
point is that making bold text indicate hyperlinks is not a good idea.
Well the first four sites I went to after reading your comment
don't have the links underlined:
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en.html
http://carlo-domeniconi.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
https://www.audubon.org/birds-of-america
And I've gone to a few other sites since I made note of those, and
NONE have the links underlined (execpt on :hover, if then).
I just found more information about this, here:
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F73.html
...where it says:
Procedure
Check that each link in the page that is identifiable by color
(hue) is visually identifiable via some other means (e.g.,
underlined, bolded, italicized, sufficient difference in
lightness, etc).
