Answer 1

The current version of Crystal Reports (for Visual Studio 2012+) that I use with Visual Studio 2015 supports this function. Follow the following steps:

1. Insert a picture into your report. This will serve as your placeholder.'
2. Right click your picture and choose Format Object
3. Select the Picture tab and the press the formula button

4. A formula window will open. Enter a formula that will find your pictures as links.
