Yes, you can have any class displayed by default with the map display,
but that is aimed at displaying anything that can be placed on a map,
not anything as a map itself.
So no, using -D in options.wrm is not the same as changing the magic
qualities of the magic tag "Map". The code that calculates and displays
maps requires the Map tag to be used and I do not believe that we should
change the acedb code this way. With hindsight, we could have
constructed a fully tag2 system, which would have allowed
Map Linkage_group ?Linkage_group #Map_position
but we didn't, and too much would break for us to make that change in
the code now.
