An easy way to do this is to put the clickable objects inside an empty parent object and attach the following script to the parent:-

var showing: boolean;
var currPic: Texture2D;
var exitButtonRect: Rect;


function OnGUI () {
	if (!showing) return;
	
	GUI.DrawTexture(Rect(0, 0, Screen.width, Screen.height), currPic);
	
	if (GUI.Button(exitButtonRect, "Exit")) {
		showing = false;
	}
}


function ChangePicture(newPic: Texture2D) {
	showing = true;
	currPic = newPic;
}

This simply waits for a message from another object specifying which picture to show. Attach the following script to each child object:-

var myPic: Texture2D;


function OnMouseDown() {
	SendMessageUpwards("ChangePicture", myPic);
}

…and on each child object, drag a different texture to the myPic property. This script will send a message to the parent object to show the myPic image when the a click occurs on the child.
