Summary: Expose game hotspots to backend

Initial Comment:
In iphone like devices using a touchscreen, it can sometimes be difficult to select certain objects in-game due to the precission required.
To solve this, I propose to create a way to expose a list of in-game hotspots to the backend.
This way, the backend could choose to magneticaly make the cursor go to the hotspot if it's closer than a given thresshold.

Such system would be optional (some game engine can't support that kind of hotspots as active objects are unknown to the engine) and in that case the current behavior would occure without modification.

I believe this kind of implemementation to be possible for scumm based game and cruise. Other engines may also be suitable, but I don't know their inner working.
