if you save the photoshop as an image then when you open it in dreamweaver you could use the hotspot tool to highlight your hyperlink area. Thats as much as i know sorry

To assign URL link information to an Image slice
Assigning a URL to a slice makes the entire slice area a link in the resulting web page. When a user clicks the link, the web browser navigates to the specified URL and target frame. This option is available only for Image slices.
Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the Slice Select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), enter a URL in the URL text box, or choose a previously created URL from the pop‑up menu. You can enter a relative URL or absolute (full) URL. If you enter an absolute URL, be sure to include the proper protocol (for example, http://www.adobe.com, not www.adobe.com). For more information on using relative and full URLs, see an HTML reference.
If desired, enter the name of a target frame in the Target text box, or choose an option from the Target menu:
_blank Displays the linked file in a new window, leaving the original browser window open.
_self Displays the linked file in the same frame as the original file.
_parent Displays the linked file in its own original parent frameset. Use this option if the HTML document contains frames and the current frame is a child. The linked file appears in the current parent frame.
_top Replaces the entire browser window with the linked file, removing all current frames.The name must match a frame name previously defined in the HTML file for the document. When a user clicks the link, the specified file appears in the new frame.
Note: For more information on frames, see an HTML reference.

F1 FTW :y:

That, or put a "Div" over the bit to select.

you need to create an "image map", search that on google and you should find some related answers.

much easier if you use fireworks mx, simply open the image, draw a hotspot area on it and assign it a url
