  The introduction of novel technology has oftentimes changed the concept of
ownership. Non-fungible tokens are a recent example, as they allow a
decentralized way to generate and verify proof of ownership via distributed
ledger technology. Despite crucial uncertainties, these tokens have generated
great enthusiasm for the future of digital property and its surrounding
economy. In this regard, I think there is an untapped opportunity in applying a
hypertext approach to augment such highly structured ownership-based
associations. To this end, in this work I propose hyperownership, based on the
premises that property is the law of lists and ledgers, and that hypertext is
an apt method to inquiry such a ledger system. In spite of the significant
risks and challenges to realize such a vision, I believe that it has great
potential to transform the way with which we interact with digital property.
