For buttons and markers these have states, so there would be nested states which is not supported, not sure why you would need a hotspot (actually I don't know why you would ever need a hotspot I much prefer a transparent shape much more flexible because it can have states).
You can put triggers within states (create a shape add some triggers and then copy and paste into a state) they just don't work. You can also create some really strange things doing this, I had some sort of perpetual animation happen once.
Thinking about buttons it may be possible to copy a button and paste it into a state, would be interesting to see what happened
Perpetual animation could be fun if it were intended, lol.
I have text on slides throughout a project I'm working on that uses hotspots to highlight each sentence as you roll over them. Helps identify each sentence since they're numbered.
You mentioned using a transparent shape instead of a hotspot, when would you use that?
Copying and pasting a button seems to work in a new state, but not creating a new one from scratch. Huh. Hadn't tried that before.

Probably because they will not work within states
