i dont understand what you mean, are you talking about having your images transparent?.. if so it depends on what application you are using for your website.

Why don’t you use PS to create transparency, then reduce the image size and embed a hyperlink to the corresponding image? Time consuming yes…  
hmmm… Or U could use some nice looking text links
