An image, no...

...but it can be simulated visually by placing both image and a
text-carrying element in a parent-element in the markup - a link for
instance, and reposition the text-carrying element so it appears outside
that parent-element. The text can then appear anywhere on a page,
depending on how one define positioning-relationship.

Such methods are widely used to create CSS pop-ups of all kinds, but
it'll work just as well for stable-positioned elements that change
visually when one hovers over their parent-element.

Try the "1 link" example (third one) on this test-page...

(Notes on that test-page are not updated for the latest finds across
browser-land.)
