Description
<img src>, <video src>, etc. should also send a webmention. For media targets it should only be necessary to HEAD, rather than GET, the resource, and <script src> should probably be excluded. There is also no reason to look at rel on this.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing handling of HTML targets and how it chooses between HEAD and GET requests. Extend that path for img src, video src, and similar media targets, while excluding script src and ignoring rel for these targets. Done means media resources trigger webmentions using HEAD without changing existing target behavior.
