I agree, this is the kind of thing a graphical client might offer to do 
for the user - to show a specific image in-line on request.

Generally the expectation is that images are not automatically loaded 
though, but different clients will have different UI.

My understanding is that most clients will show the linked image when 
you click on it, either within the client itself, or by launching some 
external application.
