Interactive Beamer presentation with Clicks and Arrows

Question

I watched a nice presentation here about atrial fibrillation with interactive features. I would like to have similar features too.

Code

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usetheme{Copenhagen}    
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Normal Conduction System}
\begin{figure}
\center
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{image.png}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

where picture

Clicking right-atrium gives

Clicking left-atrium gives

You can click any part of those parts in any order and it gives arrow there. I do not know if Beamer is sufficient for this. Probably, some combination with Tikz?

How can you have such an interactive model for a picture in LaTeX?

You can overlay invisible hyperlinks over the image, they are rectangular but you can tile the image as finely as needed. Here I use four tiles and clicking on each of the areas of the heart takes you to the relevant page. (One image appears to have been over-written by mistake, ignore that:-)

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[colorlinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperref}
\begin{document}

\includegraphics{h1}%
\begin{picture}(0,0)
\put(-120,120){\hyperref[h-ra]{\makebox(40,70){}}}
\put(-75,130){\hyperref[h-la]{\makebox(50,60){}}}
\put(-120,40){\hyperref[h-rv]{\makebox(30,80){}}}
\put(-80,40){\hyperref[h-lv]{\makebox(50,80){}}}
\end{picture}%

\clearpage
\section*{Right atrium\label{h-ra}}
\includegraphics{h-ra}
\clearpage
\section*{Left atrium\label{h-la}}
\includegraphics{h-la}
\clearpage
\section*{Right ventricle\label{h-rv}}
\includegraphics{h-ra}
\clearpage
\section*{Left-ventrical\label{h-lv}}
\includegraphics{h-lv}

\end{document}

while positioning the boxes use \framebox instead of \makebox then you can see the tiles:

Any possibility to make all parts of the picture covered by small squares? So you could then click anywhere in the picture because there are so many parts to click. When they are dense enough, atria can be clicked successfully. This procedure is also much more extensible for all pictures. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 May 10 '15 at 14:54
@Masi yes that is exactly what I meant by "tile as finely as needed" – David Carlisle May 10 '15 at 14:58
Any command to tile everything 5x5px areas? – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 May 10 '15 at 15:04
@Masi not really. You can make the tiles with loops (see multido picture mode command in any latex tutorial) but I don't see that would help as you have to specify the target of each tile separately anyway. – David Carlisle May 10 '15 at 15:30
To have such a general layer for everything with pictures could be useful. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 May 10 '15 at 15:35
