So, you might have something like this... <a type="video/mpeg" href="http://example.com/video/123";> <q cite="http://example.com/video/123 "> <img src="http://example.com/thumbnail/123"; /> </q> </a> (Although you'd probably want to add a "quotes:none;" to that <q> element, since some browsers wrap a <q> with quotes.) One would know that the <img> is from the video because the URL in "cite" attribute (for the <q> element) matches the URL in the "href" attribute (of the <a> element.)
Doing it this way (with the <q> element instead of the <samp> element) would also allow you to take the thumbnail outside of the link. So, for example... <q cite="http://example.com/video/123 "> <img src="http://example.com/thumbnail/123"; /> </q> <a type="video/mpeg" href="http://example.com/video/123";>[download]</a> The "cite" attribute (of the <q> element) and the "href" attribute (for the <a> element) could still be matched up to find thumbnail, in this configuration too.
