Is it possible to use this extension alongside the ImageMap extension? I would love if you could click on the thumbnail to bring up MultimediaViewer and still have the option of clicking on different parts of the image which have been mapped to link to different pages. If this isn't possible at all does anyone know of any other extensions which could do something similar?
Topic on Extension talk:MultimediaViewer
There's no real need to use an extension for this, since you can embed absolute-positioned divs or spans along with the image itself inside a relative-positioned div to define linked areas. Specifically using normal link syntax with the positioned structures inside them where you'd normally have the link text.
This solution has two problems. First, absolute positioning is awkward and far less flexible than imagemaps (imagemaps can have links of virtually any shape, while absolute positioning is even more awkward if you want to use any shape other than rectangles, if possible at all). Second, they don’t work with MultimediaViewer, either.
