Links in mindmap as table of contents in beamer

Question

I decided to use a mindmap to show the ToC of my presentation and the section outline.

I'd like to have the nodes clickable like the standard ToC, but I couldn't find any command like \insertsection{number_of_section}: \insertsection insert a linked text but only for the current section.

\label/\ref is not a feasible way since:

this will go in the code of a theme for (semi)automatic generation
beamer is already generating the anchors, so why don't use it?

beamer anchors are named Navigation\c@page, and so I put them manually in the MWE to show roughly what I want to achieve. However, I'd like a sort of automation (by reading \jobname.toc?) since the pages can change.

In addition, is it possible to make the entire circle clickable, and not only the text?

MWE:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}\normalfont
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,mindmap,trees}
\usepackage{totcount}

\item Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers. 
\item Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them. 
\item But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime
number not in the first $p$ numbers.

@HarishKumar In the future I will edit my custom theme to support automatic generation of this type of ToC, so I want this to be transparent for the user. Furthermore, beamer is already generating the links for own usage, so why not use things which already exists? — Astrinus, Dec 05 '14 at 11:42

The following code automatically generates a toc-map for all sections. Subsections are currently not supported.

\title{Some Title}
\newcommand{\mindtoc}{
    \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}[mindmap, concept color=blue!50!black, font=\sf, text=white]
        \tikzset{level 1 concept/.append style={font=\sffamily, sibling angle=360/\number\totvalue{totalsection},level distance = 33mm}}
        \node[concept,scale=0.8] {\inserttitle}

\frame{abc}
\section{Section Two}
\frame{abc}
\section{Section Three}
\frame{abc}
\section{Section Three}

\end{document}

But I need to know the total number of sections. If this code has to be put in a theme, I do not have previous knowledge of the number of sections. — Astrinus, Apr 13 '16 at 07:17
@Astrinus see the edit, the code calculates the total number of sections — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 13 '16 at 09:33
Nice! For what purpose do you include the forloop package? — Daniel, Apr 13 '16 at 10:27
@Daniel Probably for nothing :) I just copied it from another answer where I stole the section-counting stuff. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 13 '16 at 10:36
The current subsection can be extracted as \tableofcontents[currentsubsection,hideothersubsections,sectionstyle=hide/hide,subsectionstyle=show/hide] — cacamailg, Nov 08 '16 at 19:46
