Question

The option to add a hyperlink to text or an image in pages is greyed out.  How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Peter is correct. However, one can clever up two overlayed, grouped Text Box and simulate a hyperlinked image that can be placed in the document body with text flowing around the image. Moving the image requires temporarily turning off the hyperlink in the Link inspector. Example was Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.4.
Steps:
From the Pages Toolbar, select Text Box twice. The Text Box will be slightly offset. Select and drag the offset one to just above the centered one.
Click inside the centered Text Box and back out the placeholder text. Now select this Text Box and choose the graphic inspector.
Choose Fill > Image Fill. Choose your image, and then Scale to Fit the entire Text Box.
From the Pages arrange menu, choose Make Background Objects Selectable, and Send Object to Background.
In the Wrap inspector, select Object Causes Wrap, and your choice there. My example was door #2.
Click inside your text-only Text Box. Change the placeholder text to three instances of the capital letter ‘O.’
Launch the Font panel (command+T).
Manually change the font size to 92 points. This just fits a default Text Box size without wrapping. I used Times New Roman Regular.
Select the text, and with the Link inspector, enable your choice of hyperlink, and also disable it (for now) with the “Make all hyperlinks inactive.”
With the text still selected, choose Font color from the Font panel. At the bottom of the Color tool, set the Opacity of your text to zero.
Drag the transparent text-only Text Box exactly over the top of your image Text Box. Use the blue guides.
From the Pages edit menu, Select All. From the Pages Arrange menu, choose Group.
Drag the Text Box group where you want it in your document body. Text will flow around it if you used my setting in the Wrap inspector.
Lastly, with the Text Box group selected, disable “Make all Hyperlinks inactive” in the Link Inspector. You now effectively have a text map overlaying your image and the mouse pointer changes to a hand. The link is now active. Exporting your Pages document to PDF preserves the hyperlinked image effect in both Preview and Acrobat Reader.
