<p dir="auto">For completeness: OpenHistoricalMap’s fork of this project embeds the image named by <code class="notranslate">image=*</code>, <code class="notranslate">image:2=*</code>, etc. My understanding is that it comes from a time when OHM had no data consumers per se, whereas all the other historical mapping projects out there had this and other multimedia features aplenty, so OHM felt a need to keep up with the Joneses. I don’t think the project would give the feature so much priority today, now that there are more immersive OHM-based sites that cater to more specific audiences (railway fans, genealogists, etc.) without depending on very presentational tagging.</p>
<p dir="auto">OHM currently implements the feature as a hacky <a href="https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/ohm-inspector/">ohm-inspector</a> script that gets injected into the site. (Ew.) Automatically loading images from arbitrary URLs comes with security/privacy/reliability issues: <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="1853904506" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/issues/issues/585" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/OpenHistoricalMap/issues/issues/585/hovercard" href="https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/issues/issues/585">OpenHistoricalMap/issues#585</a>. Some <a href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/restrict-wikimedia-commons-urls-as-image-tag-values/2271" rel="nofollow">big OSM forum threads</a> also touched on these issues.</p>
