MSDN says that the HRESULT is for the

(hyperlinking tutorial) is linked from there and contains sections of
code for various IHlinkTarget and IHlink related methods.

Of interest is the bit under "Jumping to the hyperlink target" --
according to MSDN: "The following code is a theoretical implementation
of a hyperlink object. The system-provided hyperlink object uses
similar code." It proceeds to show some code of what an
IHlink::Navigate call is doing.

The code above is using different methods to locate an IHlinkTarget
object, and then calling the Navigate method on that (and presumably
returning the HRESULT of that call, although the code listed does not
return anything).

NOTE: The test is incomplete (there are a lot of methods on the
interfaces that are returning E_NOTIMPL), especially the
QueryInterface and QueryService methods.
