Double-click or right-click on image in preview mode to open in external viewer

Keyboard-navigable context menu on images in preview would help the most, IMHO. It would allow us to solve this and many other issues / use cases by AutoHotkey / Keyboard Maestro until developers finish their higher priorities.
In the future, this request could be implemented in full, perhaps with utilization of “https://forum.obsidian.md/t/mouse-hotkeys/11013” and/or Single key hotkeys (context sensitive)

Some options desired in context menu:

current workaround:

switch to edit mode → find link to image → … → switch back to preview mode = unecessary effort.
