including external HTML into a signature?

Hi,
I'm wanting to create a standard Outlook signature image for all our
company's employees, to include below their names/position. And image,
and preferably, a hyperlink, that I can change whenever I want on the
Web server and the users never have to manually change their signature
settings themselves (outside the first time to put in their info and
the link.)

I know for just the image, all I have to do is have them put some HTML
for <img src="http://ourserver.com/image.gif" /> and then I can change
and swap out image.gif whenever I want.

But what if I want to add a link that may change? What can I do to
surround it with the anchor link tags where I can change the target
when I want? Is there some way I have have a Web page on the server
with just:
<a href="http://ourserver.com/target_for_may.htm"><img src="http://
ourserver.com/image.gif" /></a>
and then in the signature, somehow "call" and include that scripting?

Thanks for any assistance!!
Liam

Now that I think about it, I guess I could just have them put the link
in their sig, but then manage the target by redirecting the target
either at the server level or with a <meta http-equiv="REFRESH"
content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"> in
the target's HTML to where I want it to link to.

But, I still want the option to be able to change the sig so that I
can have it display, say two small images, or an image and a bar of
social media "contact me" icons, or whatever, whenever we need to.

Thanks again,
Liam

I think this type of thing would be best supplied on the server side of
things. See if this helps:
