7. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying an image comprising at least one object, wherein a portion of the image corresponding to the at least one object is selectable to access supplemental information related to the at least one object; and
modifying the image by applying a digital watermark to the image to cause metadata to be embedded into the image, wherein the metadata comprises an indication of a location of the at least one object in the image, and wherein the modifying of the image is performed prior to encoding the modified image and prior to transmitting or storing the modified image, and wherein modifying the image enables:
extracting, from a captured image of the modified image captured using a camera or based on a screen capture of the modified image, the metadata embedded in the modified image based on the applied digital watermark; and
based on the metadata extracted from the captured image, causing a portion of the captured image corresponding to the at least one object to be selectable to access the supplemental information related to the at least one object.
