I have a feeling that this has come up before, but I can't think where.

About all that I can think of/remember is:

 - Put the graphic in a fo:block-container

 - Use fo:basic-link containing fo:block-container for the (rectangular)
   hotspots.

   The fo:basic-link for the hotspots would also be in the containing
   fo:block-container.  Their fo:block-containers would each have
   absolute-position="absolute" so you can position them inside the
   containing fo:block-container.  They would also have a z-index value
   that puts them in front of the graphic.

It would, of course, be simpler if you could use a graphic format that
natively supported hotspots, though I can't actually of any except
possibly SVG or PDF encapsulated in PDF.
