That doesn't really help: the difficulty is in figuring out which part
of the image corresponds to which link (if any).
This is equivalent to "executing the SVG's code in reverse", so the
easiest way to do it is to render the SVG and have the renderer remember
where it drew each link.

So, if we don't want to re-implement an SVG renderer in ELisp, the
better option is to export to ELisp this part of the functionality of
"the" underlying rendering library.
