Exemplary embodiments disclose a computer-implemented method for enabling an end-user to dynamically create a hot spot on a user interface (UI) of information resource without the end-user modifying underlying code of the UI. Aspects of the exemplary embodiment include responsive to the end-user activating a hot spot creation component, receiving a designation from the end-user of a location of the hot spot and a size of the hot spot within the UI; receiving from the end-user an assignment of a user gesture to the hot spot; receiving from the end-user an assignment of an action to the hot spot; and responsive to a detection of the user gesture on the hot spot, invoking the action assigned to the hot spot.
