    Yes, you can make buttons like this in InDesign. However, note that button objects often do not work on mobile devices. (In fact, in many PDF readers on mobile, the button is not even visible! Very frustrating.)

    In order to make something visible or invisible, you have to change both objects into buttons (in the Buttons & Forms panel). Just select the objects and click the "Convert to a Button" icon. Then give each button its own name. Now, to make something visible or invisible, you use the Show/Hide Button action.

    (There are other ways to make things appear, such as animations, but those do not currently work in PDF.)
