Definitely a rotation of a single line works fine, with the link remaining operational. If I look at the generated HTML I can see that the Anchor Tag "<a>" wraps the image.
Code:
<a onclick="return(xr_nn());" href="http://google.com">
<img class="xr_ap" onmousemove="xr_mo(this,0,event)" style="left: 82px; top: 35px; width: 173px; height: 186px;" alt="" src="index_htm_files/0.png"/>
</a>
If I generate the HTML for any text box with more than one line there is no Anchor tag.
Given this is an image, I would expect to see a pologon image map covering each portion of text, to ensure WYSIWYG.
Code:
<map name="test">
<area shape="polygon" coords="a,b,c,d" href="http://url">
<area shape="polygon" coords="e,f,g,h" href="http://url2">
</map>
And then attach this to the image:
Code:
<img src="image.jpg" usemap="#test">
At the very least, if this is a feature by design, then a message indicating that rotation of text will render link ineffective would save people scratching their heads as to why its not working (especially people without HTML skills).
