This is doable and the files are already sitting on my machine — it's an import job rather than a bug fix, so it'll be its own piece of work.
Where things stand: our world map is built from v83's own files. That root "Maple World" painting has exactly eleven clickable continents, which is all v83 had. Everything we've imported since — Thailand, China, Zipangu, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, Dawnveil, Tynerum, Commerci, Arboren, plus Korean Folk Town, Amoria and Masteria — is in the map window already, but only reachable by clicking the arrows either side of the title, because v83's painting has nowhere to put them.
The newest client we hold is GMS v173 (Dawnveil). I checked its map files: it has 64 world-map regions against our 27, and its root painting matches the picture you posted, with links out to the newer continents. So the plan is to swap the root painting and its link positions for v173's, pull in the sub-regions we're missing, and keep the ones we already have wherever v173 renumbered them.
Two things to agree on before I start. First, the window frame itself, the arrows and the dots stay v83 — only the paintings and the region data come from the newer files. Second, your "even if we don't have those areas yet" means some links will open a region with no maps behind it; I'd rather grey those out than let people click into an empty page, but say the word if you'd sooner see them live.
One caveat: v173 is post-Big-Bang and its map files have a few traps we've been bitten by before, so I'll be checking each region rather than bulk-importing.
