Allow image to link to itself using the link=self attribute on the image macro
Source: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/3656
link=self
has only ever been proposed, never implemented. But it is something that we could easily implement in Antora. I encourage you to file an issue to propose it.
From Zulip: Our images are located in assets/images. Including images work flawless eg using image:sub_path/image_name.png[text] The issue I am facing is, I want to link TO an image. Clickable either from text or from the image itself which I would show as reduces size (thumbnail). Using image::sub_path/image_name.png[width=40%,link="self"] as found in one tread does not work. I can link from an image to somewhere else exept to an image. Is there any solution for such a case?
Pls consider to be able to open the image in a new window by adding the caret symbol link=self^
@mojavelinux as you proposed, here is the issue filed
