The entire POINT of TS is that you don't need to hardcode links and
other HTML directly. You will never find what you're looking for that
way, because it is NOT part of the Typoscript.

Honestly, I can only suggest more reading--maybe the TS By Example
manual--because the code above is EXACTLY what you're looking for. If
you like, it is the "|"--which just stands for "the content of some
object".

You can also find out where it is defined by mousing over one of the
lines you pasted in--a tooltip will pop up showing the line number
where the property is defined. You can then use the TS Template
Analyzer to find exactly WHICH TS template contains that line.

No, this is irrelevant.

Perhaps if you told us what you are trying to do, we could offer
concrete suggestions.
