You can create a force-directed graph to do something like this:

You would have a bit of work to do:

1. Add images dynamically to the nodes (this example adds a favicon to each node)
2. Allow users to expand/collapse parts of the tree. (this example does this, but uses a tree layout).
3. Add HTML links to the end nodes (this example shows how nodes can link out to other pages).
