Thumbnail click - redirection to external page

[kwszp]

Hello,
There was a similar request (Clickable link in thumbnail view) and it was beautifully resolved and works great, but the follow up idea of clickable thumbnail has never been materialized.

I'm looking for a way to direct to images from other websites, but rather in a way similar to search results of search engines, than by "embedding" them, like described for example here.

A clickable thumbnail (equivalent of <a target="_blank" alt="caption" href="http://www.link.to.page"><img src="thumbnail.cpg"></a>) is what I'd love to have.
The mod mentioned at the top creates clickable link under the thumbnail (link to test of modified code in my gallery), yet:
-opens the link in the gallery window
-the thumbnail is a normal gallery entity, so by clicking it one goes deeper and deeper
-hovering shows thumbnail image details

Is there a way to hack the code/create a mod with these functions:
-clicking on thumbnail opens (possibly in a new window/tab) the corresponding link (link created with bbcode could be either taken from thumb_caption or a custom field would have to be created)
-no image info is shown when thumbnail hovered

I mentioned mod, as the situation resembles a bit Remote videos for cpg and I thought, that maybe modifying it to accept something like <lnk> files, containing an url, with thumbnails loaded with custom thumbnail plugin would do the job?

Any help much appreciated

The Remote videos plugin doesn't affect the thumbnail view, but the intermediate-sized view. So you cannot use it for your purpose. There's an svg plugin available at the svn, which modifies the thumbnail view. Please have a look at it if you need a draft.

Thanks for the hint, I sat for a while, but as I am no PHP programmer, I'd rather somebody have a look at this before I accidentally infect the internet

According to what exactly your .tlnk files contains (e.g. a link to an image like http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg15x/albums/userpics/10002/thumb_muscari_rosee_25k.jpg), replace

$params['{THUMB}'] = '<div><object data="'.$file.'" type="text/tlnk"></object></div>';
with something like

$params['{THUMB}'] = '<img src="'.$file.'" />';
