SLAPP to preview a texture by UUID
Horny Nuzzle
This would be very useful to share help graphics and reference images with customers and friends without having to link to external websites.
This is already possible in Firestorm, and the same functionality would be great to have across all viewers for full coverage.
Please consider adding this simple change that would make sharing content with other residents inworld much easier.

Create a new Viewer URI for Links to Snapshots and Textures
Extrude Ragu
There are many instances where it would be useful to display a link to a texture in either local chat or within a dialog.
Being able to share Snapshots in Group chat for instance would be great. There is currently no way to do this without spamming everybody. If we had Image links, we could share media in Local and Group Chat in a non-spammy way.
The feature could also be used to supply rich media instructions. Images are often much more effective for instructional content. An image tells a thousand words. Creators could put links to instruction image in local chat or perhaps in dialogs.
I propose adding a Viewer URI Namespace along the lines of this:-
secondlife://app/image/<image_uuid>/<title>
A link with the title will be displayed. When the user clicks it, an image floater is opened, to view the image.
A new 'Copy URI' button will be added to the context menu of Snapshots and Textures within the inventory. The button will be enabled only when the user has appropriate permissions over the image.
