What is the best way to make just a specific area(s) of a graphic a clickable link?

Hi everyone. What is the best way to make just a specific area(s) of a graphic a clickable link? Say I have a graphic with multiple images and I would like one or more of them to have clickable links to other pages. Designer pro+ latest version. Thanks.

Nancy, best to set a No Fill shape with a 0px Line width. The shape is outlined in design but invisible on render.
For it to work fully, you must have set Shapes as SVG else you get the link over the entire bounding box.

Create rectangles to cover the areas you want clickable.
Make the rectangles links.
Add 99% transparency to the rectangles.

Chris, isn't that what Acorn said but he also suggests svg's are better as they can be any shape rather than just a rectangle?

Reading thoroughly at 5:00 in the afternoon, yes. But at 8:30 this morning, whilst shovelling Rice Bubbles and banana in my face, I thought I was simplifying.

Love it Chris I thought you all had corks on your hats.

Thanks Acorn! This is exactly what I want. I couldn't get it to work with a certain graphic,figured out it was because it was a sticky graphic. After I made the shape sticky as well, worked fine.
