If the user goes to tiddler B *without *going through the button in some tiddler A, the image button would take up the whole screen, but if the user clicks the button where does it take them? To ensure tiddler B make sense on its own, there would have to be some extra instruction from the button in tiddler A to tell tiddler B to make the image button fullscreen, and what to do when its image button is pressed. Is that level of sophistication something action widgets are capable of?
It seems that JavaScript will be necessary. If it is, I'm thinking there are 2 ways to go about this: 1. *Hard: A TiddlyWiki fullscreen image viewer plugin.* I have no idea how to write them, but surely it would be possible to make a basic customisable fullscreen image viewer? Maybe special macro for inserting images like <<fullscreen-image-viewer src:"image.png" fit-to:"both" allow-zoom:"true" gallery-mode:"false">>, which would put the image in the tiddler like normal, but if the image is clicked it takes the user to the fullscreen image viewer without leaving the TiddlyWiki. Could even implement an optional fancy gallery which has next buttons to take the viewer to the next image in the tiddler. 2. *Easy: An external fullscreen image viewer HTML page.* <a href="fullscreen-viewer.html#example.png target="_blank"><img src="exampe.png"></a>. No messing with TiddlyWiki, this would open a HTML file in a new tab that just has a bit of JavaScript to catch the image source and go fullscreen, and some CSS to display the image in fullscreen.
