Description

One of the best features of redreader is the ability to download images from posts.
However there's no way to download images from comments with image links off.

gitblazer below mentioned it's possible with link buttons on, but they take such a large amount of screen space, and fragment text if images are used throughout sentences so I just cant leave them on.

Please add the ability to long press images for the same menu as long pressing a link button.

Research direction

Start by tracing how images in comments are rendered and how the existing long-press menu for link buttons is handled. Done means long-pressing a comment image opens the same download menu while link buttons remain disabled, without disrupting images embedded in comment text.
