Yeah...
Unfortunately, just showing a raw image, you have zero control... I
mean, it's not even in a web page. You'd have to create a simple html
file for each image, OR you can do something like what Steven suggested
(because, really, the reason is that you probably don't want to
generate an html page per image when you might have hundreds of them),
OR you can do client side scripting and require the user to have
scripting enabled. It would be a pretty simple javascript, ultimately,
embedded in a simple
<table><tr><td><img id="my_image"></td></tr></table>
Then the link would be <a
href="show_my_image?image=the_real_image_name.jpg">
And then you'd need some javascript to parse the query string and get
the image name.
So... yeah... to just tell a browser "show the next raw image at full
size" is not possible, you have to be able to mark it up yourself,
which means it needs to be in a page.
