Is there any way to alt-text HTML links (as opposed to IMG mousovers)?

Yup, just use the title attribute.

i.e. <a href="link.html" title="Link Alt Text">Link</a>

HTH,

depends on what you mean by 'alt-text'. The alt attribute is only for
images, since it's simply a text replacement for the image. A text link is
text, so obviously doesn't need any replacement text.

As others have pointed out, the title attribute can be used to add
'additional' text to either an image or a link.
