Inappropriate?This is an interesting thing to bring up, especially since I've found that there's no easy way of doing it. Best method I've found:
1) Get the link to the image you want, such as "/f/mypic.jpg"
2) Click the Link button
3) Choose your link method as normal, but for link text, type:
<img src="/f/mypic.jpg" />
It'll act just like a normal Point&Click Editor object from here on out, and you can edit all the picture and link properties like anything else.
It's definitely something to look into for the feature list.
I’m surprised that this is the first time it has come up.

I ran into this issue today. Hope you are still looking into an easier method. It is kind of frustrating because just trying to get the URL of the picture (copy shortcut) by right clicking the file causes the picture to be inserted into the page (when in edit mode). I wouldn't think a right-click should do that. (v2.0)
Thanks for the workaround. -
Actually, maybe I am a little off-topic. I was just trying to create a text link to a .jpg file stored in my files area. Other types of files create text links when you click on the file name. (a href tag). But clicking on a graphic file embeds the file in the page (img src tag). I didn't find a user friendly way of creating text links to graphics files.

Inappropriate?What if I want a picture of a cat to link to my favorite website, icanhascheezburger.com? -
Inappropriate?Well, let's say your cat picture is at "/f/goofycat.jpg"
Put your cursor somewhere, not highlighting anything, and click Link. Then select URL for Link Type and "http" for Protocol, and add "icanhascheezburger.com" as the actual link. Then, for the Link Text section, type in the html:
<img src="/f/goofycat.jpg" /> -
Inappropriate?This method did work for me (after trying several different ways to add a link). But it is very clunky. I would think that it should work if you right click on the image, and enter the url in the Link tab. But when I try this and click OK nothing happens - except a code error message.
I know I could just do it in html, but I need to show non-technical staff how to do it, too.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I never considered using Vu's method for adding a link to a picture.
I do this ...
1. While you are in edit mode, click on an existing picture once.
2. Then chose the Link button from the editing menu and add a URL style link to the picture.
You can see an example at the bottom of this page.
