If you follow Rich's method, I think that you can use a variable
substitution in the URL string to make it specific to the feature
clicked.  

Another method would be to make two calls to mapserv, one to get the map
image, and the second one to get an imagemap.  You then stack them on
top of each other and you can have a clickable map, mouse-over text,
etc.
