Several months ago, I made a small patch to NCSA's `imagemap'
program (from the 1.3 distribution) to allow this. The change
was relatively simple, consisting of a check to see if coordinates
were specified in the URL, and if not, to fake out the rest of
the program to think the user `clicked' outside of a defined
region. It seems to work well. I'll include the context diff
here (and even brashly put a new version number on `imagemap')
if anyone else is interested. Please let me know if it doesn't
work for you!
