How should I handle link targets for images if they're encoded in the source JATS?  To quote the "Warning" here:


Warning :
The licencing requirements on your wiki may not allow you to remove all links to the description page that displays the required authors attributions, the copyrights statements, the applicable licencing terms, or a more complete description of the rendered image (including its history of modifications).
If you change or remove the target link of an image, you will then have to provide somewhere else on your page an explicit link to this description page, or to display the copyright and author statement and a link to the applicable licence, if they are different from the elements applicable to the embedding page itself.
Your wiki policy may restrict the use of the alternate link parameter, or may even enforce a prohibition of alternate link parameters for embedded media files (in which case, the link parameter will be ignored), or may only accept them after validation by authorized users or administrators.

Don't really understand the question here - can you give an example of
the options we have?

Naively, I would assume that if the target is in the JATS source, then
so it should be in MediaWiki XML.

Note the text in the warning: that would override the default wiki behavior of the target being the image detail page, and some wikis have a policy against that.

Possible solutions are to preserve the original target and provide an additional link to the image detail page; or to make the target the image detail page, and provide an additional link to the original target.
