In general it would depend on what the link is going to point to, but typically you would want to do that within Visio itself before the diagram is published.

Keep in mind that the Visio web part is highly interactive and provides a lot functionality.

Thank you! I personally don't have Visio, so the user will need to add the links... the links will be pointing to other SharePoint pages in the site. So there is a Viso web part? What format does the file need to be saved as?

If they have Visio 2013, they won't need to do anything special, that was actually something to be concerned with in older versions of Visio and SP.
