Add hotspots and alternate text to objects

To set a hotspot
To add alternate text to an object

You can also set a hotspot that follows the outline of the object, or fills the object’s bounding box. CorelDRAW applies a crosshatch pattern to an object containing a link. You can change the color of the crosshatch pattern as well as its background fill. In addition, you can add alternate text to objects for text-only browsers or screen readers.
