Gallery Links

[miqrogroove]

When inserting a single image from the Add an Image popup in the post editor, the only linking options are File URL and Post URL. There needs to be an option for the Gallery/Image Page URL.

p.s. If this is supposed to be the purpose of "Post URL" then it needs to be renamed. Only a hardcore WP hacker would recognize uploaded images as "posts".

Also, whatever text which entered into the "Link URL" field should persist for each attachment in a gallery, just as the other fields' values persist. I would like to use that Link URL to go to some other location than the Post or File, and I would like this URL to be stored as a postmeta or the attachment so it can be queried.

Agreed with @miqrogroove that "Post URL" is not the correct descriptor. Will toss this to the UI group and see if they can come up with something better before freeze. As to @westonrouter, I think that belongs in a separate ticket, since it's technically a separate feature request.

@janeforshort: I created a new ticket for my suggestion: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12226
