Here's how you do it.  Use a view field, sized the same as your image, that
views a small HTML file from the mid-tier.  In the html code put a call to
the GIF file for the image attribute, that should also reside on the
mid-tier in the same place... ".../shared/images".  For the link in the html
code put your call for action.

Here's how the view field is populated in the field properties text area
and/or refreshed with an active link set fields:

Here's a sample of the code using an animated gif logo to call an external
website:  This file is named: INSONA-Logo-Blue.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META name="description" content="INSONA Corporation animated logo - blue">
<META name="author" content="Ray Palla">
<TITLE>INSONA Logo</TITLE> 
<META name="description" content="INSONA Corporation">
</HEAD>
<body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0
BGCOLOR="ffffff">
<A HREF="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.INSONA.com">"http://www.INSONA.com" TARGET="_blank"
TITLE="http://www.INSONA.com"><U><B><IMG SRC=""
border=0 width="127" height="24" ALT="INSONA Corporation - www.INSONA.com"
ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A>
</div>
</body>
</HTML>


It's really easier than it sounds... And it works on the fat client too...
I can't recall when view fields were introduced, but I believe it worked in
5x too.

Have fun;
