Hi Alyssa,
Thanks for the info. Here's a slide that reflects the issue.
Hi there, Miriam. It looks like you're experiencing the issue that Alyssa mentioned above. In the HTML5 output, hyperlinks in the header text of a marker won't work correctly. The hyperlink in the body text of the marker, however, works in both HTML5 and Flash.
Here's your output - I rebuilt the marker after doing some edits, but the most important difference is that I put the hyperlink in the body text of the marker. Tell me if the body hyperlink text works for you. You'll have to click the marker to get to the body (the headers disappear when you aren't hovering on the marker icon).
I understand the design decision that you're making by having the link available on hover. To use a marker, for now you can put the link in the body text. Alternatively, you could use an image instead of a marker and have the hyperlink text appear with a hover trigger for the desired effect. I hope that helps!
