Yes and no.
The liking sits in the html code used in web pages. If the picture, including the code, is displayed in a program that can handle html code, yes - it will work. Such programs are most browsers and programs like word-processors or many PDF programs.
If the picture is lifted out of the html code environment, for instance if you right click and go save in a browser, the code is lost and there is no way to retain the linking. The only way is to write the link like www.somewhere.com and user has to type that into the browser.
Most people would save a picture as a JPG, PNG, or in a similar format, and it is not possible to have a link in such formats.
Looking at a picture on the web, as in a photo-site, yes it is possible and very easy, but as said, if someone download the picture in a picture format, and include it in another site, the link is lost.
Hope it helps.

Does anyone know if it is technically possible to embed a small visible watermark in the bottom corner of a photo that would also be a hot link to a web site? What I would like to see is a watermark that could be clicked on and would reveal either a code or contact information for the creator.
