Except I think the OP was asking about regional hover areas on an image
overlaying information:

This is different than an image rollover, which is more of what is being
described in your link.  Technically you _could_ create a text area near an
image that could show different text varying based on context of mouse
position (possibly triggered through :hover, :focus, or :blur events).  But
that's outside the scope of what OP was asking for I think.  At least in
the context of an image editing program.

tldr; sure you can do this - pick a programming language or
html/css/possibly-js combination and augment your image in that way.
Images themselves don't do this normally.
