Description
Current functionality:
- It is possible to use
LinkHints.activateModeToCopyLinkUrl(Copy a link URL to the clipboard) to activate hints, select a hint, and have that hint's destination URL copied to the clipboard.
Desired functionality:
- Add hint-activated functions for images. These include (in my personal desired order):
- Copy image
- Copy image URL / address
- Save image
- Open image in new tab
Illustration:
- The Chrome context menu when right-clicking on an image:
Personal note:
- I absolutely love Vimium! Thank you so much to the community for creating this wonderful extension.

Research direction
Start at LinkHints.activateModeToCopyLinkUrl and trace how hint activation selects a destination URL. Use the requested Chrome image context-menu actions to define the scope, with copy image and copy image URL first; done means the selected image supports the agreed hint-activated actions.
