A method and apparatus for associating context sensitive links to multimedia objects by using markup intelligence. Markups can be used to prepare messages containing multimedia segments for subsequent handling in a business process. Markups for multimedia segments are stored separate from the multimedia data and can later be merged with the multimedia data on the fly to create a chain of multimedia segments forming an offline conference consisting of synchronized multimedia segments, which enables the end user perform pre-defined actions and to make time-insensitive requests for information without losing the context. The predefined actions include addition, deletion and modification of markups at will without altering the original content, logically organizing the markups and selectively acting upon them. Markups function as hypermedia jumps and the multimedia segments linked by markups are accessible from devices such as PC, Telephone, and Wireless Internet Devices.
