The google earth chrome plugin shows a globe with a pin at the position for the image. That would be nice to have as an option.

On the background image itself you mean?

I'd like it to be like the chrome extension, a clickable globe which links to the coordinates

There is a map in the extension preferences that shows where in the world the photo is from. It's a flat Earth though :)

I did look into something more dynamic like the Google Earth globe, but I didn't think it was worth the time it would take to implement. Happy to accept patches, or suggested projects I could use though.
