Is there a way to link images to key-words in text (i.e. Figure 1) and allow users to touch the text to bring up the image (hyper-link to stored images)?

You can do anything with mobile apps. I'm not trying to be a smart-aleck, just not sure what you're asking. There are different approaches to all sorts of design implementations. Sounds to me like you are asking about a simple hyperlink in HTML? Because you mentioned 'stored images' I'll assume you mean stored in the Xcode or Android project. In v1.4, you won't be able to work with stored, or local images without major programming kung-fu. v1.5 makes this possible and very easy. However, v1.5 is only available for iOS and only available to the Early Adopter list (see your control panel for info about becoming an early adopter). In v1.4 you'll need to create two html documents. One with the image, the other with only the image. Hyperlink from one to the other and back.
