Yes it definitely does make sense. What you're looking for is the CSS link hover code. CSS is an official extension of HTML 4.0+ and is supported by over 95% of commonly used browsers.

For example, would bold text when you hover over it.

You can find more information at the following website:

Before enlarge me after

This css example works in Firefox and highlights a word without using the tag. However, in IE6... (well... it is IE so no surprise) the :hover on any element other than is not supported.

In HTML, you cant. You need to do it in CSS or a script. I highly recommend that you base your site on CSS. Check out the below link for an example.
