Rotating Hyperlink border

I am trying to rotate an object and its hyperlink boundary together. I use a command like rotate 10 but it only works on the object, not its boundary.

Please include at least the segment that contains the link and the object with your attempt at rotation.

note you need e.g. 10 rotate verses rotate 10.

With gs converting to PDF the rectangle did not use the rotate but did use scale and translate if added which seems inconsistent.
