The problem with links is that they are downloaded for every view, 
rather than once for the module.  I have made a number of image modules, 
and have decided that including the images is a better option than links.

As to the technical question, I suspect that it would work fine right 
now using ThML, but not at all in OSIS without some additional work to 
osis2mod.
