I'm hovering over this link on Wikipedia's "Weird Al" Yankovic page:

<a href="/wiki/Image:WeirdAlYankovic.jpg" class="image" title="">
<img alt="" longdesc="/wiki/Image:WeirdAlYankovic.jpg"
src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/WeirdAlYankovic.jpg/220px-WeirdAlYankovic.jpg";
width="220" height="342" /></a>

If I hit 'v' for view image, I see the image in xv, which is great.

If I put this in hooks.lua and load it:

bind_key("main", "V", my_function)

and hit "V" while on the link, my_function can call current_link() to
see "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WeirdAlYankovic.jpg"; (the URL
of the link), but can't get to
"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/WeirdAlYankovic.jpg";,
the URL of the image.

Is there a "current_image()" or similar function to show me the URL of
the image I'm hovering over, even if the image is inside a hyperlink?

I realize I can hit return to visit the URL
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WeirdAlYankovic.jpg";, and then get
a direct link to the image, but want to avoid the extra step.
