You can use hotspots so that one area of the map links to a URL.

You could just use absolute positioning and z-index via CSS. For a multi-image image you could put a transparent image and link the transparent image that is absolutely positioned over one of the corner images for example, repeat!

What you need is some HTML called a "client side image map". Web design software creates this for you automatically when you draw rectangles over the areas you want linked. It's rather difficult to code manually by hand because then you'd have to know the coordinates of the areas you want to link. But if you really want to try to do it by hand, then I suggest a search for: html "image map" tutorial
