[Question] Image Support

[AblatedSprocket]

Is there support for parsing on Org link to an image file when exporting? For example, parsing the link as an tag (or something) in the HTML output?

hi @AblatedSprocket thanks for taking the time to open this issue with your question.

Do you refer to inserting an Org-Mode link to an image file and get that link to be translated to an <img> tag? If so, you currently have to link it directly to the file with a regular org-mode link

[[/path/the/image/file.png]]

If you're looking into using weblorg's routing system, unfortunately, url_for currently only generates a tags. e.g.:

[[url_for:static,file=image.png][an image]]

I think it'd be great to find a way to tell url_for to generate an img tag instead of a regular link. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I'll see if I can come up with something too in the meantime 😄

There's another issue open for this, but I think my ideal use case would be using plain old org syntaxes and weblorg would override the exporter. That sounds hard though.

Using url_for would work ok for me as well and sounds easier, I'll look and see if I can think of something.

What if we just add another definition in org-link-set-parameters:

(org-link-set-parameters
     "img"
     :export (lambda(path desc _backend)
               (format "<img href=\"%s\" />" (weblorg--url-for path site)))

Hi @AblatedSprocket 👋🏾 this looks pretty good to me. What do you think about calling it url_for_img? you can register it in weblorg--route-install-template-filters 🙇🏾 do you think you'd be interested in trying to put another lil PR for this? 😄

[AblatedSprocket]

You know, I just might
