I have a section named Image Permissions. Every image in my epub will have an ID and will be linked to some text in the Image Permissions section with a matching ID.
The text in Image Permissions will in turn be linked back to the original image so readers don't lose their place.
The simplest way to do the first part is to simply link the image. The return links in the Image Permissions section will also be images - simple triangular arrows.
But if I can't link images in Kindle, then I may be forced to add some sort of caption. But I'm going to try and create a simple text arrow - perhaps in a span with a colored background - and use CSS to lift it up a bit so it's superimposed on the image. For example, every image might have a tiny arrow in the lower right corner.
I read somewhere that use can use some sort of popups in Kindle, iBooks or maybe both. But I think it would be better to have my sources and permissions listed in plain view in a special section rather than bury them in popups.
