web server, image maps

Hello all,
I'm a recent user of OpenMap. I've been able to set up in a couple
of days a simple Web-based map server using a frontend on top
of the SimpleHttpImageServer class (using the MAP, PAN and
RECENTER features) with VMap0 data from USGS.
This was pretty easy so far (my compliments to the OpenMap
team for such a nice software).
My next logical step is to add image maps on the HTML side,
to provide links to specific objects displayed on the map
(e.g. from a location layer, not from the VPF layer).
How would you qualify this step ?
 - not compatible with current design of OpenMap
 - hard (requires new layer, new formatter ?)
 - medium (supported by the link layer ?)
 - easy (already supported, I just didn't look in the
 right place)
I'd be grateful for indication on how to proceed (I'm
ready to get my hands dirty and write some Java code).

Thanks for your comments.
