Describe the feature you'd like

I received a request from a client to have the ability to save images as modal images (Here's a reference: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_modal_images.asp) so that they appear as dialog/popup/float images in the text.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This is purely aesthetic

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Possibly if I hack the backend code and add the necessary JavaScript, perhaps in a child theme would be safer, but ultimately not realistically

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

6 months to 1 year

Additional context

This is a low level change request to consider for future versions.

Thanks for the request @kenswampy, but I feel the fundamental request here is already covered by #464 so I'm therefore going to close this off as a duplicate.
