Click boxes (alternatives or show a border around them?)

Regarding insert\standard objects\click box:

Currently I don't know of a simpler (in terms of efforts/steps involved) way to create 'slide-over' or 'pop-up' boxes or hyperlinks.

The only caveat to using click boxes is that you cannot color them or automatically include a box around them.

Just so there is no mistake, click boxes include a text box, which automatically appears when the mouse is rolled over the active area. On the other hand, roll-over slidelets allow colors and borders, however, they do not include a pop-up text box. A text box can be added but that requires additional effort.... which ultimately slows down development.

Thanks
