When you upload pictures to Dakka by adding them as attachments to a post, the gallery display indicates "This image has an associated web page with more information". This is awesome.

When you do a bulk upload to the gallery first (say, 10 pics) you have many options on the associated page: adjust the brightness, copyright status, image name, description, etc etc. You can also apply these settings to all, such as for tags. I'd really like the ability to embed a URL of your choosing that would display as the above link does, for images attached to posts. I tend to upload big chunks of images to my gallery, and then create a post linking all the images in a format I find pleasing. Unfortunately in that method I tend to get comments on the gallery pages asking me how I did stuff: if I could link to the page in question, that would be awesome. Or maybe a different page, like an army profile, or a work log. If you could apply it to all images at the same time, like how tags work now for bulk uploads, that would be pretty sweet.

This functionality already exists with the poorly-named 'Image Source URL' field in the upload page. Put an URL in there and it goes in that link. I'll add a note to give it a clearer description.
