Yep, IMAGEMAP HTML fragments would become a useful companion to .PNG files.
If SVG files have the concept of links, it gets trivial to add then. Ditto
for other export plug-ins, where applicable.

Yes, this was supposed to appear only when the object is selected, thus not
in the output.

Hmmm. Not sure. You may want to have all sorts of shapes, and this would
unnecessarily duplicate the whole dia infrastructure. Better make objects
themselves linkable.

Yup, text too could have a URL property.

Lars, I think I have a good idea to make this URL property come true.

	- if an object has the magic URL property, then the link icon appears
upon selection.
	- if it appears, it's just next to the first corner handle, inside
the object's boundary box.
	- ELEMENT_STANDARD_PROPERTIES will include this magic URL property
	- non-element object types (Textobj, polyshape for instance) may 
	include this property as well (the whole property stanza will be 
	a standard macro.
	- if there is demand to make just any object linkable, we'll just
make OBJECT_STANDARD_PROPERTIES include the url property and that'll be it.
