Video Thumbnail Link to Node view

Issue Summary

Not sure if this is a feature request or a support request. Basically I'm working on coding the smugmug provider over at the media_smugmug project, specifically adding a gallery/photoset slideshow option.

So I'm thinking for a slideshow it might be very helpful to display just a thumbnail on teaser and then click on the thumbnail to get to the full node view where the slideshow would be configured to come up larger, autostart maybe, etc. I assumed this would be easy I guess because of my experience with imagecache providing such an option as a cck display.

I'm now finding to my chagrin that this option is not there for video (slideshow is treated as video). There is an cck display option "Thumbnail -> Full Size Video Inline Replacement" which seems like much more complex functionality, but not a simple "Thumbnail -> Node View" display option.

To add a wrinkle to this, if you look at emimage providers they DO provide such functionality, but they do so in the cck widget by offering a small picklist (for example "Image Thumbnail Link") which provides three options (No Link, Link to Provider, Link to Content) where "Link to Content" causes it to link to the node.

So the feature request is either...

Add a cck display for emvideo "Thumbnail -> Node View"

Or if you want to be consistent with emimage this will be...

Add a cck widget option for emvideo Thumbnails to allow them to link to content

On a side note I'm noticing as I code my provider a lot of inconsistency with where settings and display options end up in emfield. Sometimes things end up on the emfield admin page, sometimes providers put provider specific settings into the cck field widget which means they are visible even when you aren't using that provider (media_flickr does this), sometimes theme functions directly test for external flash players and use those when available, etc. For example the approach to integrating flowplayer and flvmediaplayer into emfield display is quite inconsistent. But perhaps these are all known issues that will be addressed with media module?
