How do you set the slide so that all objects on the screen will continue to be displayed until the user clicks on a hotspot? Currently I just set the timeline to 20 seconds but this is not ideal as the objects disappear after that and users may take longer than 20 seconds to click on a hotspot.
Please check this very easy to read article about Triggers in Storyline. These triggers control the flow of your course based on your needs.
To answer your question, you can explore putting the trigger in the hotspot object and use a mouse event instead of using a timeline event. In this very simple setup, the current slide including all its objects will stay in the screen without any time limit. It will only move to next slide/layer when user clicks on the hotspot object.
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create in your project.
That certainly sounds doable and using triggers to change states (normal to hidden for your objects) may be what you are looking for. Check out this documentation and let us know if you have any additional questions.

I hope this helps.

You can set the objects to show until the timeline ends, and as Jopney suggested, move to the next slide when the user clicks.
Another method is toset everything to exit at 20 sec, pause the timeline when it reached 19.8 sec, and restart it when the user clicks.
