There has been an alternative to HTML imagemaps in MapServer using query 
templates for the last few releases. The following docs might help:
   http://mapserver.org/output/imagemaps.html

Another option could be to look at defining a templated output format. See:
   http://mapserver.org/output/template_output.html
and
   http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-36.html
