Word 2013: How do I get hyperlinks to function within Smart Art graphics?

Hyperlinks don't seem to work when they're created on text within Smart Art graphics. Also, when I save as a PDF, the hyperlinks function if they're just normal text but create them within Smart Art, and they disappear in the PDF version of the document.
