html - Does (HTML5) Canvas have the equivalent of an image map?

Question

Does the Canvas element have the equivalent of img's map, so you can define clickable areas on the canvas element?

There is brief mention of a map halfway down the page here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-canvas-element.html, but I can't find anything else about it.

Answer 1

Even if there isn't, wouldn't an image map on a transparent image positioned over a canvas get you what you need?
