How can Annie create hotspot links within uploaded images on the welcome page?

Annie can create hotspot links within uploaded images on the welcome page by utilizing the Formatted Message Box or HTML widget along with Image Map Editor tools. This approach allows for the embedding of interactive areas within a single image, which can be designated as clickable links to various resources or pages.

Using the Formatted Message Box or HTML widget provides the necessary flexibility to incorporate HTML code, enabling the use of an image map. The Image Map Editor tools facilitate the drawing of specific areas on the uploaded image that can be tied to URLs, resulting in an interactive experience for users visiting the welcome page. This method effectively combines visual elements with navigational functionality, enhancing user engagement.

Other methods, such as employing plain text links, applying CSS styles, or relying on third-party applications, do not provide the same level of interactivity or integration with the images. Plain text links would not allow for the hotspot capability, CSS styles alone wouldn’t enable link creation within the image, and while third-party applications might serve this purpose, they are not necessary when the built-in tools are available for hotspot link creation. Thus, option A is the most effective and accurate choice for this task.
