That depends a lot on how creative you get with it. :o)
If you use the <a> element on the video layer, then you can only make the
entire video into a link. You can add text layers which include links, but
text in Quicktime SMIL is notoriously fickle (best use native Quicktime in
that case). But you can work with images-as-links in Quicktime SMIL which
works reasonably well. You can then use transparent or semi-tranparent
images to act as time-based hotspots in the video.
But really native Quicktime files are much more robust. SMIL is good
because it's easier to automate (since it's XML) and because it's free
(it's good if you can't/won't pay for eZedia). The observant reader will
notice that I use SMIL on my blog from time to time - that's because of
the automation. :o)
