Once photos are uploaded is it easy to link to them in posts?

It's not totally simple unfortunately. I just right click and save the location to the clipboard and then do an [ img ] thingy as normal. Better than nothing though.

Some forum software displays the URL of the picture underneath in the gallery so it can easily be copied and pasted into posts. Would it be difficult to code? I have no idea of how the gallery section is coded (therefore this may be a stupid idea!) but if the image URL is coming from the db to go into the html img tag then it wouldn't be too hard to also output it as text…
