With a purpose of avoiding "More details **here**" style links that do not provide any information in the link itself, what styles are common/popular/suggested?

A good example case (with **bold** as the potential link):

> John Q. claims that pigs can fly.
> 
> **John Q.** claims that pigs can fly.
> 
> John Q. **claims** that pigs can fly.
> 
> John Q. claims that **pigs can fly**.
> 
> **John Q. claims** that pigs can fly.
> 
> **John Q. claims that pigs can fly.**

And so on. What advantages or disadvantages are known?
