I have a webpage with hyperlinks on it and would like to take screenshot of it with hyperlink support. That is, from the image I should be able to open those links.
Is there any way to do this?

Easy. First download the Fireshot extension for Chromecast or Firefox browser and check the Settings that it is activated (on) You will then see a large ´S´ in a blue box at the top right of your screen. Clicking this icon will give you many screen copy options. When you have selected the screen page you wish to copy, select the option saying Capture browser window and save as PDF. Click the screen once and it will start to copy and scroll to the bottom. You now have a .pdf page containing live links. NOTE. You have to register as a member. or each time you click one of the links it will otherwise take a while to display, clicking a second link. FireShot is the ONLY screen capture utility I have found to catch links.

While technically yes you could do that, but you'd need to update the image after the fact and add the back-end HTML code. It wouldn't be extremely difficult as even Microsoft Word will allow for this to happen.
At that point though, you've just recreated the webpage. If it's just saving the hyperlinks, why not just copy / paste them into a new MS Word Document?

Can you show an example please. – rɑːdʒɑ – 2016-01-29T14:26:04.477
@Raja maybe Matt King meant Image Maps. Google HTML Image Maps for more information – DavChana – 2016-01-29T16:38:26.003
1Images don't have HTML code. Maybe you're referring to HTML hit maps, which require an HTML page, not just the image. – Ben N – 2016-01-30T01:52:05.220

fireShot pro on Chrome will be able to do what you described, however not supported on macs.

1Welcome on Superuser. Could you please describe how to achieve that using fireShot Pro? – Nordlys Jeger – 2018-10-05T11:56:09.440
Please tell me why negative vote . – rɑːdʒɑ – 2016-01-29T14:18:25.540
its impossible to click links aka "text" in screenshots/images esp. jpeg/.png./gif, that's why negative votes. – DavChana – 2016-01-29T14:20:47.573
3No, not in the way you describe. Taking a screen shot is a picture. You can't add this into common picture formats (or any that I know of). The only option may be, save to PDF, and then manually add the links back in (maybe with transparent boxes so it appears as if the text is clickable). – Dave – 2016-01-29T14:20:47.790
1If I asked something you can not answer , you have a mouse so you can give neg vote. Cool bro. – rɑːdʒɑ – 2016-01-29T14:23:38.837
4@Davinder: PDF is basically exactly that, though. Also negative votes aren't negative answers – downvoting is meant for posts that aren't worthy of an answer. – user1686 – 2016-01-29T16:04:04.510
@grawity right,but generally speaking, screenshot word is taken as a image format, especially when OP said "that is, from the image I should...", & yes, you are right, negative votes mean people think this is not worthy of an answer. – DavChana – 2016-01-29T16:37:24.700
4@Davinder: Then why are you downvoting just because you don't have an answer? You're already answering "no, it's impossible", so why not post it as an actual answer below? – user1686 – 2016-01-29T20:50:53.300
@grawity no point of posting an "answer" which says "this post has no answer". I decided to downvote it,so that people with higher rep see it & can decide if it needs to be closed or not. – DavChana – 2016-01-29T22:17:15.267
& for the record raja & @grawity, I downvoted it only now.. – DavChana – 2016-01-29T22:18:14.853
I better google instead posting here. Thank you. No offence. I can also violate rules. But I respect this place. So please close my question or delete it. But I wont delete. – rɑːdʒɑ – 2016-01-30T01:16:35.577
To all negative voters , Its a similar question in 90's that how to view images in nokia phone ? which have absolute solution by millennium. If something dont have today it doesnt meant that we will never have it. may be not today but someday , someone. And thank you. @Dave Davinver , Grawity for you time and help. – rɑːdʒɑ – 2016-01-30T19:17:05.617
