Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
montage

This is Metz commenting on Pudovkin (and the Russian montage directors) and the assumption that without montage there is no cinema. There is a strong analogy to hypertext here as one could argue that without links there would not actually be hypertext. In other words Pudovkin would argue that a single continuous shot would not be 'cinematic' and it could be suggested that a single continuous screen on the Web, or anywhere else for that matter, is not hypertext per se.
