@Zumwalt:
There are no special tricks or popups on the page you link to: http://www.xara.com/us/products/web-pack-2/
They are simply small resolution screenshots of the widget which Xara link to another page (showing the widget) via a straight forward link.
In other words, you would create a thumbnail image on your mouseoff layer which links to another page containing your slideshow widget. That simple.
(While Xara do not use web designer for their web-pack-2 page, they have use the same link process)

Actually, it doesn't.
You're file shows an embedded <iframe on a layer which points to a remote URL that has the results of an exported widget.
Code:
<iframe src="http://webdesigner.xara.com/webpack2/mosaic_fade/" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" name="xara_iframe" ><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe>
Neither does your .xar contain any of the required widget files ;
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_htm_files/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_htm_files/datamap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_htm_files/mosiac_fade_conf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_htm_files/mosaic.1.0.1.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index_htm_files/mosaic.css"/>
In other words, this is not a widget in a layer at all. It's a placeholder with an iframe, doable in any version of Web Designer and not requiring any webpacks at all.
As I read it, I believe the OP wants the actuall widget on a popup layer to open from a thumbnail link.
I don't think this is possible, I can find out why and post back.
