Not quite sure how this fits your needs, but the QGIS "actions" facility was
implemented originally to do just this on the desktop - and it works well.
If you have a set of images, each of which has a location, and you create a
QGIS layer which includes the path to the image file & the point to represent
it on a map, you can plot the points, & create an action to view the image it
represents. Then select the action tool, click on the point on the map, see the
image.
Also, we did not use QGIS for this, but built an (Open Source) web facility to
do this, with a set of images at each location:

Click a green triangle (DTIS location) to drill down to the images at each
site...
May give you some ideas if nothing else....

Subject: [Qgis-user] including images in (database) attributes
Hi,
is there a way to include images (png, jpeg, ...) into a QGIS project
file and link to an entity? I'd need this feature to link builing
surveys to buildings. In the next step, they should also be visible via
qgis-web-client*.
* I hope, this is the right mailinglist for questions about the web
client. I'd guess it's an official project by QGIS?!
If there's no possibility to do that, I'd maybe try to implement it
myself. I don't know whether it's possible for me to do this in QGIS
core but I guess I could work it out to put a link into a field called
e.g. "img" and let the web client not only show the link but the actual
image.
Are there any hints about the first part of my question? Maybe also
about the second one? If this feature is not implemented yet, any hints
according to where to start coding are very appreciated. :)
Cheers,
Niklaas
P.S.: Because I'm working for a research project
(http://assip.project.tuwien.ac.at) I get some money for maybe coding
this feature. ;-) So, the existing initiative from my side is quite
serious. :-)
