I'm fairly used to brackets, I think this comes from when I used to browse = the web with the links2 browser though so I don't mind.

It would certainly have its uses, but as you say it's not really high prior= ity at the moment. As for the webvism function, if it does indeed use the url rather than the image then I wonder if one could unbrowse the page, search for the alt text, use a regex to extract out the url and send it to the site that way? This approach wouldn't be very robust or nice to implement but could be mad= e to work in cases where some details about the image's alt text are known.
