I suspect he doesn't have an existing form in the first place.
For simple <a href="> links you can generate FORM submits by creating a
form on the page that has all hidden fields (one hidden field per FORM
variable). Change the existing hyperlinks to have onclick handlers that
call a javascript function (passing in the desired values) to set the
values of the hidden fields, and then submit the form (all via JS).
It's not that hard to do (depending on your knowledge of JS) but there
are some tricks to it (like having the onclick return false).
I'm not sure if the urls in an imagemap can be manipulated in this way
though... If not then maybe you need a redirecting page... Have your
urls go to a page as they do today and have that page create a form with
method=POST and with hidden fields all filled in, then use JS on that
page to auto-submit the form. Lame, but it would probably work fine.
I suppose you could use CFHTTP to post to the other page too, but then
the request comes from your server, not the user's browser, and that can
be problematic.

As Dan suggested, use a GET as the form method. Then just duplicate the
URL scope in the form scope, as in <cfset form = duplicate(URL)>
