Yes, you are correct. If you had this before:
Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink("text");
link.addClickHandler(...);
you should change it to this:
Anchor link = new Anchor("text");
link.addClickHandler(...);
However, Hyperlink is block-level whereas Anchor is inline. Anchor is
actually more analogous to InlineHyperlink (subclass of Hyperlink).
You should keep that in mind insofar as keeping your layout consistent
after making the switch.
