Describe the feature you'd like
When you insert an image, this image also have a link attached to it, so you can click on it and it will open in full view. This happens with all images, except with the ones that made with draw.io. For this images you have to do "Right click -> View Image". Is it possible to also attach link to this kind of images, so it will open with one click?

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Less clicks and convenience.

Hey @simchanu29, #1170 refers to links embedded within the drawing. This issue is about wrapping a link around the inserted drawing so you can easily view the full version when clicked, as occurs with standard images.

I'll update the title to clarify this.

@mv-yurchenko Nope, adds complication adding in an official way (Where I'd want to do this properly) and has potential considerations/conflicts with other drawing requests, but here's a way to essentially add this functionality to your instance right now, by adding the below to the "Custom HTML Head Content" customization setting:

<script type="module">
    const drawings = document.querySelectorAll('.page-content [drawio-diagram] img');
    for (const drawing of drawings) {
        drawing.addEventListener('click', event => window.open(event.target.src, '_target'));
    }
</script>
<style>
    .page-content [drawio-diagram] img {
        cursor: pointer;
    }
</style>
