That feature, an extension of "simple hotspots," is present in the
Java-based emulator we offer at Touchtone Corporation. Currently, it is
available as part of our ThinView and Wintouch products. It can also be
set up to provide pop-up windows of GIF and JPEG URLs as soon as those
URLs are displayed, rather than waiting for a mouse click.
