My current idea is to generate an image within the click percentage as the background image.

If you're interested in a no-code solution, you could try Microsoft Excel (2016 or later).

Specifically, you can use Power Pivot to add your data to Excel. Then, you can display it with the 3D Maps feature.

I used this to plot approximately 1.7 million latitude and longitude pairs on a 3D globe; you could map your data onto a flat plane, too.

Here's what the end result looks like for my project (You can view more details about this approach here):

There is always the data-driven documents, D3.js, a JavaScript library. Worth checking it out :)

Finally, I find that html overlay may be a proper solution for me.

Here is a list of a few third-party options.

For something a bit different, Google Analytics provides a similar feature called In-Page Analytics which replaced the Site Overlay feature.
