Publishing an ebook with eLearning link on Amazon

How do I publish an ebook with a link to an eLearning lesson on Amazon? I prefer to use Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) but it's not a must.

Any current examples? 

Basically, KDP told me to publish or try and publish it. But, the review team might reject it.

Below is what KDP told me so far. 
Ebooks with links might be sold through Amazon, but not published through KDP… the content review team operates within KDP only, therefore they decide whether they approve or reject books on KDP only.

  • If the eLearning lesson is related to the content of the book, then Amazon should allow you to include an external hyperlink in your ebook. One of their permitted uses of external hyperlinks within an ebook is " Links to multimedia content directly related to the content of title." In my judgment, that would include an e-learning lesson. To see the list of permitted and prohibited external hyperlinks, see this page Hyperlink Guidelines
