"Link Behaviour" is basically tabs versus windows. A referrer is information that a browser sends when following links or picking up images to the site where the file is being requested, telling it where the browser came from. I use RefControl to block third party referrers, since they are normally not needed, and I do not think one website needs to know where I came from if I came from a different host.

On our Website, we fill our database with a lot of stupid entries ... this was caused by spammers who copy a page of one of our form into their host, modify it then use it a lot. The "referer" was our solution to stop the fill of our database because we test: If the referer is not from our site, then discard.
This is a case of one website NEEDS TO KNOW where you came from.
