If you say right for <a href='' ..> tag, so follow this :
link.php is NOT ONLY for images, so the best is to separate functionalities.
TODO :
<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly.file', array(
'dataKey' => 'my_image',
'dataObject' => $row,
// HERE (create the link)
'preview' => 'modal',
//DEFINE HERE WHATEVER PROPERTIES FOR LINK
'linkSelectors' => array('rel' => 'lightbox'), //example
...
));
?>
(Please regenerate, I modified link.php and html.php to get this possibility)
Also possible to distinct the albums if you play with the groups of the grid.
The only difficulty is when you have pagination and you want to navigate in the lightbox through the items that are not present in that page. (You may instance them with hidden controls).
Not tested at all, and maybe not in your needs, but just to help users who wants to deal with that.
