Wikia has an image tagging feature that sounds a lot like what you're describing. See http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Leiadeathstar.jpg for an example.
Annoying at first the difference with flickr's when i tried to put the mouse over them. MAybe user experience can be improved.
Each image has a "tag this image" link which lets you click on a part of the image and add a tag, which is a link to an article. You can search by tags http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:TaggedImages?q=Han%20Solo
"You have requested an invalid special page" Maybe because i'm not logged in?
It's very much in beta right now, but if anyone would find it a useful addition to Commons, we're happy to make that available under the GPL.
Please, do. Wikia develops useful extensions, but when we have similar needings on Wikimedia projects, usually we don't evenknow about their existence. We also talked some time ago about Special:Minupload when brainstorming about improving the upload process. There's very little information about wikia extensions.
