When you click on the spot, a small zoom window pops up with a closer zoom of the main points, which can further zoom from there. | |

Both examples above are from existing plugins for Leaflet (a web mapping framework). The plugins are called OverlappingMarkerSpiderfier-Leaflet and Leaflet.markercluster, you can find their code on github. For OpenLayers almost certainly there are similar plugins. | |
