I never have hear about THREEx before. Raycasting allows you to click, touch or move objects in your scene and then call a function. in this case it would be a function that opens the page

THREEx internally uses `Raycaster` for `domevents`: [threex.domevents/threex.domevents.js at 1100828c40df668a82a97c811895918088cc607f · jeromeetienne/threex.domevents · GitHub](https://github.com/jeromeetienne/threex.domevents/blob/1100828c40df668a82a97c811895918088cc607f/threex.domevents.js#L75)
