I think he means linking to a map as if it were an ABS, and then teleporting back to the original map with the same co-ordinates and everything.
Edit: Cooked this up in a few minutes -

# Map to Battleback
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version: 1.0
# Author: cozziekuns (rmrk)
# Last Date Updated: 10/6/2011
#===============================================================================
# Description:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A tool which allows you to directly use tilemaps as battlebacks. Does not
# support parallax mapping as of yet, and requires Cozziekuns' Tilemap to Bitmap
# script.
#===============================================================================
# Updates
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o 10/6/2011 - Started Script.
#===============================================================================
# To-do List
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o Nothing. Post some ideas.
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Copy and paste this script above Main Process but below Materials. The modules
# should be changed following these instructions:
#
# o MANUAL_TRIGGER: The switch id to set to true if you want to manually change
# the map id of the battle taking place.
#
# o MANUAL_VARIABLE_ID: The variable id of the map_id you want the battle to
# take place. Will only be used when the Manual Trigger
# switch is set to on.
#
# o DEFAULT_MAP_IDS: The map id you want to use as a battleback when on a
# certain map id. For example, if I wanted to use the
# map with id of 4 as my battleback, and I wanted it to be my
# battleback whenever I was on the map with the id of 2, then
# I would add into the hash: 2 => 4.
# Syntax: DEFAULT_MAP_IDS ={
# map_id => battleback_map_id,
# map_id => battleback_map_id,
# ...
# }
#
# o USE_REGULAR_BLUR: Do you want your map to be blurred? Set to true if so,
# otherwise set to false.
#
# o USE_RADIAL_BLUR: Do you want your map to have the default radial blur? Set
# to true if so, otherwise set to false.
#
# o STRETCH_BACKGROUND: Do you want to stretch the background? Set to true if
# so, otherwise set to false.
#
# o STRETCH_BACKGROUND_WIDTH: How wide do you want the background to be. The
# value is only used if STRETCH_BACKGROUND is set to
# true.
#
# o STRETCH_BACKGROUND_HEIGHT: How tall do you want the background to be. The
# value is only used if STRETCH_BACKGROUND is set
# to true.

It requires my
Tilemap to Bitmap converter. Tell me if that wasn't what you wanted.
