Hi,
Yes you can.
You need 'serverside imagemaps'.
Look at this (second example)
http://www.cris.com/~automata/variety.htm
This is how it works:
1) use a serverside map.
2) Let the script (the a href-target) catch the X and Y coordinates.
3) Use some routine to decide what area is clicked. (I cannot help here)
4) lookup in your database what link you want.
5) redirect the browser to that link, simply by using headers.
Good luck.
