I dunno... ducttape?

I'm guessing you're talking about a start menu for a game you're making?
It would help if you'd share what engine you're working with.

you have to make at least 3 posts on the forum, before you can even think about posting links.

are you asking how to be able to open up a web page in a video game.

for example, having the patreon icon that players can click on, and it will open up your patreon page. I know unity has some basic URL commands, such as to open up a web page, and that's about it.

if you are asking to make a web browser inside your game, that's way beyond me right now, I am actively unlearning during quarantine.

To link from renpy's start screen, go to screens.rpy line 390 and find

textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=not main_menu)

Under or above it type

textbutton _("Whatever") action OpenURL(" ")

I'm not making a game... I just want to know how to put an image with a website link before an existing game loads.

You could probably use a wrapper to inject the code in you want to get the URL to work then, however, it depends on how the program was created and works, and not even computer science majors with 4 years know how to do this, so it is not easy.
