Looks like a great ride! I'm not a smugmug expert (or user for that matter), but you should be able to get it to spit out the link to the pic with img tags on either end of it. Alternatively you can past the url of a pic in where yout type and put bb or html img code around it like this [*img]www.yourpic.com[/img*] only without the * (I just put them in there so you could see the tags rather than a red x).
