get_visited() returns the 'visited' state (True or False) of the URI where the LinkButton points. The button becomes visited when it is clicked.
set_visited(True) sets the 'visited' state of the URI where the LinkButton points as True (analogously for False).
Each time the button is clicked, the signal "activate-link" is emitted. For an explanation of signals and callback functions, see Signals and callbacks.
