I do not know why, but I never received Andrey's reply.  If there's more 
to the response, I do not have it.

Replying to Dima's message in reverse order, Synfig is definitely not 
the tool I need.  That is not the type of "animation" I'm looking for.

I'm creating an organizational chart structure of information.  If I 
choose to, I want to be able to click on an object, in this case a 
rectangle, and have another box, or window, open somewhere that gives me 
additional information about the data in the rectangle.  The information 
the box/window will be the same type of information you would get from a 
footnote, endnote, or bibliography.  It will simply tell me where I got 
the information from.
