[Pro] Applying Text to a Carousel Action

Apologies but I’m new to Freeway and Web Design so may not get all the lingo correct.
I have created a page and used the carousle action to create a slideshow using a number of images. All of this is working fine but I would like to add text to individual images that I can apply a hyperlink to that will jump to another page. To date I have not worked out how to do it.
Any help much appreciated

When you make each pane for your carousel, you can create the pane out of a nested set of elements, not just a single element. So try this:

Draw an HTML box as large as you want your pane to be. While it is still selected, choose the graphic box tool and draw a graphic box over the top of the HTML box. As you are drawing, the sides of the HTML box will glow blue to indicate that they are the parent of the item you are drawing. If you want to add a second box to hold the text caption, click first on the outer HTML box, then choose the HTML box tool and draw your caption box directly over the HTML box. The same glowing highlight will indicate that you are nesting that box into the outer parent.

Now, if you apply either the Carousel or Carousel Pane Action to that outer HTML box, the entire nested collection of elements will be carried along for the ride. Once you’ve made one of these, duplicate the whole thing and update the photo and caption to speed up your design process.
