Hi all, I use ImageMap [0] like Krabina suggested to do something similar. In my opinion, ImageMap has some issues that hopefully get resolved like "mystery meat navigation" [1][2] and no Visual Editor support or even on-wiki editing, although there are some ways [3]. In my experience, this has prevented all but the most dedicated users from using ImageMap and forces them to use external tools if they do [4].
I did run across an interesting use of "maps" on a video game website [5] that seems to be just overlaying an animated gif over a map at a coordinate.
