Can LYNX Handle an Onion Site?

Hi All: I suppose this is an off-the-wall inquiree, but lately as the New York 
Times increased its pay wall-and-jacked up its javascript, I have alot less 
access to either current stories or their rich archive. However, I had heard 
they have a "dark web" site.
https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion
Granted that comes from a 2016 story. Lynx cannot connect-and-I am not 
familliar with tor, although I have it installed. Thanks so much in advance for 
any guidance
