  AFAIK there is no clash between hyperref and TikZ, see e.g. here. Can you please tell us what you tried?

  @marmot how can I position the Textfield inside the Tikz picture; not just above or below.

  Sorry, I read that on mobile and missed your link. It totally works, just injecting the code into the node name label: node (Y) label: TextField[width=4cm]tfName;. I tried many more complicated things but never tried anything as simple! Thanks! Would you rewrite that as an answer so I can mark it as a solution?

  @marmot I think the purpose of Jake's method is to insert a PDF annotation (e. g. a link) whose size will be dictated by the BBox of the TikZ node into which it is inscribed. The request made here is simpler; as the size of the TikZ node simply derives from the PDF annotation size.

Indeed, there is nothing special about TextField in a tikzpicture environment. It can be inserted in the text argument of a TikZ node:

documentclassarticle
usepackagehyperref
usepackagetikz

begindocument

begintikzpicture

node (A) [inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt] TextField[width=4cm, charsize=0pt, name=tfNameA]label A:;

node [inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt, below of=A] HugeTextField[width=4cm, charsize=0pt, name=tfNameB]label B:;

endtikzpicture

enddocument
