Which annotation is used for putting a link so people click on it and it gets them to another video? Is it the Speech bubble, Note, Title, Spotlight or Label?

I use Spotlight. It just puts a border around the link without anything else.

Totally right. To elaborate, it's generally recommended you create your "button" during your video edit. This can be a literal button that you would then lay a Spotlight annotation over, or it can be a clip of the video you're trying to promote. Use the most exciting or visually striking part(s) of the video to hook the viewer's attention.

Text on screen ("Next Video"/"Click to Watch") will also encourage a viewer to click.

Exactly. On my "trailer" I edited in clips of videos with labels in Premiere itself, and then on YT just did the Spotlight linking. Using annotations themselves as labels looks kinda amateur.
