You can track the mouse click on the image by specifying a mouseDown
handler. The handler function would then grab the source property of
the clicked image and open it with mx.core.Application.getURL().
Untested code snippet, but should give you the basic idea:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function viewImage(theImage: mx.controls.Image) : Void {
getURL(theImage.source, "_blank");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Image source="{myImage}" mouseDown="viewImage(event.target)" />
