what I thougt is this:

when I use the pmwiki-syntax for variables within the URL's i specify 
within the drawing (using the URL-button in the applet) then reading the 
mapfile in the PmWikiDraw-script could translate the mapfile simply using 
the FmtPageName()-function. so you could replace the statement

    $contents = str_replace("%BUILDEDITLINK%", $editImageUrl, $contents);

by

    $contents = FmtPageName($contents,$pagename)

and add $editImageUrl to the global-list of the function

example-map:

<map name="draw01" id="draw01 ">
<area shape="rect" coords="68,77,225,155" 
href="{$ScriptUrl}/MyGroup.MyPage" alt="MyGroup.MyPage" />
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,405,5" href="{$editImageUrl}" alt="Click to 
edit the image" title="Click to edit the image"  />
...
</map>

so both $ScriptUrl and $editImageUrl will be substituted well.
And even better: if you like other variables tomorrow, you only have to add 
them in the applet in the know syntax ( {$Varname}  ) and make them global. 
It reduces the syntax to variable substitution to one (the pmwiki-variable 
in pagetext) format.


Anyway, lot's of theory. I think I'll work a bit with pmwikidraw and try to 
make some changes to the script for testing. If there are some solutions 
I'll send you the changes for demonstration and review and if you like it 
you can take it over into the distribution in the cookbook.
