Thanks for bringing up this use case, it hadn't occurred to me before.

I guess this use case is relatively new, since prior to Org 9.3
":results graphics" would insert a link.

But, I can see why this functionality would be useful, and if people
have come to use it, we should try not to break back-compatibility, or
at least provide an alternate mechanism to support it.

I do think that inserting a link for graphics is probably the more
common use case, and should be easier by default.

But clearly, the situation is not quite as simple as I had originally
thought.

Best,
Jack
