          How about implementing [hyperlink support](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda), like how coreutils ls does? That way it would be possible to use the already existing grid functionality, and each file would be clickeable. The only requirement would be to use a terminal that supports hyperlinks

I am sure a lot of us use timg with kitty. Support for making the image or the title a hyperlink would be a real force multiplier for me and I imagine others!

where would the link go ? Or would you like to be able to use c-escape codes in --title ?

That would work for me; I could hack a function or alias to make the title a hyperlink to the image. The comment I quoted upthread envisionsed making the image itself a hyperlink but of course you'd know better than I what would go into doing that.

I am not much of a C hacker but if one were to point me to the place in the code where this could be managed I might be able to take a crack at it.
