The icon can handle the anchors if the browser can display the image the
icon represents --- ie. the image appears inline when the icon is activated.
If the browser must spawn a viewer because it can't handle the format, then
map stuff won't work (unless we are dealing with a very sophisticated
viewer that could return coordinates to the browser which could interpred
them).
