Well, if you do this as a link, try installing a new protocol helper maybe.
This is stored internet config methinks. Then rather than making a
http://<uri> link you would link the image as eg 'imgedit://<uri>' .
The imgedit protocol-helper would be launched (your application), passing
the uri as a parameter on the way it. Probably a document parameter.
Then your app could use an HTTP socket to download the image and finally
open it.
How's that sound?
