Trix: Images can no longer be linked since the introduction of image galleries

[jdilelle]

In earlier versions of Trix, users could drop an image then turn it into a URL via the link button.
With the introduction of Image Galleries (which are really neat!) it looks like users can no longer link images? Yet, the image galleries branch page mentions "Attachments with href attributes now render a's inside their figure's.". What am I missing?

It would be great if solo attachments (that is, not within a gallery) would be "linkeable", as this is a very common pattern.

That's referring to the (optional) href attribute that an application can set after storing and uploaded file. e.g.:

attachment.setAttributes({ url: "…", href: "…" })

it looks like users can no longer link images?

I'm open to restoring that feature, but with added consideration for attachments that have an application-provided href (like the example above). In that case, you may not want users to clobber the link you set.

That would be fantastic, and much appreciated!

Any progress on this? I would like the ability to link images as well (to generic urls – not necessary the image files themselves). Is there a workaround?
