Adding hotspots and alternate text to objects
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.
