As I'm currentl refershing my 'web-knowledge' I made a demo.

An overlay by a LC window. You can set its transparency and could even
use this technique to make windowshaped 'overlay-stacks' (so that you can look
through and click through the 'holes' of that stack).

It's not perfect, you will have to add scripts, but the HTML is fully included.
Stack size (incl. browser widget and HTML+CSS+javascript) < 30 KByte.

May be this is not really what you want, but TMHO an overlay by a lot of single
objects will slow down the performance of the video dramatically.
