Hotspot in one scene jump to a layer in another scene?

Hi there - Is it possible to insert a hotspot on a slide in one scene that jumps to a specific layer on a slide that is part of a separate scene in the same project?

    What if, in addition to jumping to a specific slide based on the learner clicking on the hotspot, you first set a variable (e.g., myLayer = 1).

    Set myLayer to value 1
    When the user clicks btnJumpToLayer

    Jump to slide 6.2 View My Notes
    When the user clicks btnJumpToLayer

    Then, on the target slide where that layer lives, when the timeline starts, check the value of the variable. If it's "1," show the layer.

    Show layer MySpecialLayer
    When the timeline starts on this slide
    if myLayer = value 1

    Be sure to reset myLayer before exiting, otherwise the NEXT time you jump to that slide, you'll land on the layer again.
