Like many others, I would like to see a smoother integration between pictures and their galleries. For instance, I've got some random/related pics in a block. I understand that it's not so easy to allow users to browse through more related pics from there, but I had an idea for another solution, which I hope someone could solve:

If a picture is part of (tagged with) a gallery, it would be nice to have a link to the gallery below the picture, just like we can link to the original picture or the node page. If we could open the gallery in the background, wouldn't that also allow us to jump directly to the gallery?

Has anyone made a solution like this already? Or do you have an idea for how to do it?
