hyperlink in mail signatures does not work

i am trying to add an image to my email signature and then connect the same image with a hyperlink.

however, preferences/signatures does never save that hyperlink. meaning when i start to open a new email, all the signature and the image is there, but the image has no clickable hyperlink.

It simply does not save it.


but when i add a hyperlink to an image in any new email and then save that email as a draft, then when using that draft email that hyperlink works.


please explain this to me apple - cause that does not make sense to me :)

it looks like that apple does not allow us to save pictures/icons with hyperlinks in email signatures, while of course when putting it in a draft email or in any email as an "attachment", then of course it will work as it is an attachment then and not a saved signature. :-)

which means apple designed it like this intentionaly !

when i send this email from the button "compose new message" (in apple mail), the hyperlink will not work, the picture/icon is there, as well as the email text signature.


but, as i said before - i can create a draft email with a signature in it and with a picture/icon in it and i add a hyperlink to the picture/icon - then i save this email as a draft email -then the hyperlink works when i send this email to myself.


but that can't be the day to day solution right ?! i want to be able to click in my mail program on new email ("compose new message" (in apple mail)) and my new email pops up with my signature in it and with working hyperlink in it.


For example: lets say i want to add an icon for my business, let's say an Instagram icon with a hyperlink, which when you click on that hyperlink, it guides you to my company instagram page.
