First, BBEdit always resolves webloc/urlloc files as that is their explicit
function (irrespective of internal format).
You can, however, extract the URL from any such file by dropping it INTO an
editing window (or the scratchpad).
Next, by default BBEdit will treat any recognized image type as such. If
necessary (please heed the caveats :-), you can adjust its behavior as
described in the "Expert Preferences" section of the help book (Help ->
BBEdit Help):
====
Reading and Writing Files
* BBEdit ordinarily recognizes image files as images, and will
open them into image windows (or ignore them when filtering
for text files). To have images possibly treated as text files
(which can be potentially dangerous):
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Services:QuickTimeImages -bool NO
