Clickable location names on map [plugin request]

Hello,
I am having a hard time to figure what locations are just next to the world map I am seeing AND many maps have huge empty spaces so I would like a plugin with clickable (goes to the location map) neighbouring locations names in these huge empty spaces on the sides.
e. g. the Malabal Tor map can have a Reaper's march text with link in the right empty space of the map and
a greenshade text with link in the bottom left empty space of the map etc...

This would make it easier to figure out what are the surrounding locations and faster to navigate to the right map.

btw: Plugin = addon in ESO's world :-)

And having the surrounding map names shown at the edges of a zone map (if you aren't on the Tamriel worldmap) won't be possible without hardcoding them for each map, as the API is not showing us what maps surround the current zone's map.

Apparently hardcoding is a terrific thing to skilled developers.
I can spend time doing the hardcoded part AND maintain the addon if somebody does the part where it draws the text on the map based on world position (and doesn't do weird things when we zoom the map).
I'm new to LUA and to ESOUI api so it's a bit tough for me right now.

Question

Hi all,
I'm working on that plugin for 2 days learning lua and familiarising with the ESOUI api.
So far so good but there's something I really wonder how to :

when zooming, the area names I added go out of the map rectangle, I would like to check a condition to hide the anchor / text if it is out of the map rectangle.

thank you.
