Answer Hi Sam,
Yes there is a way to "draw" a hotspot. You need to use the Vector Shape Window which is located on the top tool bar (the curvy "S" icon). Draw your tilted rectangle in there and it will appear in the cast window. You then need to make sure that the INK is set to "Background Transparent" (look at the Sprite tab in the Property Inspector).
Your hotspot should now be working as you wanted it to be.
