I am (vaguely) aware of API call capabilities, for example I know
ImageAnnotator.js [1] has access to image size, since it is using it. But
Bawolff is right, I am trying to access it from Lua or template code.
As for file path, I am still confused. I tried to use Special:ExpandTemplates
to test several possible syntaxes:
[[Special:filepath/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
[[Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
[[:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
{{subst:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg}}
And the first 3 give me a blue-link while the 4-th one does not work. I was
hoping to get
"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Verschaffelt_Moses_von_Michelangelo.jpg";
string. KML files like [2] , called by our templates [3] hotlinking directly
to commons images.

I believe Jarek is looking to get the info from wikitext, so that wouldnt help
him. Additionally if you have access to the api, you can use iiprop=dimensions
already.
This is a somewhat commonly requested thing (e.g. some folks on wikipedia want
to make a gallery lua module that takes aspect ratio into account), so adding
an interface to lua to retrieve this info would make sense imo.
