I believe Wt would need support for the HTML <map> and <area> tags,
which is how that website is implemented.

Then, using the right CSS styling, you should be able to generate a
popup window containing the graphic, when the mouse is moving over a
certain area. Finally, you will need some JavaScript to react to mouse
move events to constantly move the popup window (if you want that -- I
would prefer to show the extra information on the side?), and to
switch the content of the popup window from the server-side using a
JSignal<>.

If you believe in this way of going about it, let me know and I will
put support for map/area tags in Wt on the TODO list.

Regards,
koen
