I ones used a similar technic for selecting polygons in a simple
vector editor. I simply drawed the image again into memory (when
needed) and used the color index to get the object id.
I wouldn't use it for rectangle buttons, but as you allready said it
can be quite handy if you have to select non rectangle static
objects.
