If you're looking at it in Preview, don't you already
know what it is?
I'm not trying to be difficult, I just honestly don't understand why opening another tab with the same image you were already looking at in Preview (or Book View) is all that advantageous. If you're looking at it in Preview with the Code View open, you can already see the image name and are easily able to go to it in the Book Browser. From there you can rename it, or open it in an external editor, right? The Book Browser is where all image-related editing (rename, edit externally) is ultimately going to end up, no?
Or if opening the image in a new tab truly is being used merely to get the correct image pre-selected in the Book Browser, then the same functionality exists as a context-menu item when right-clicking on the image src in Code View. So while scrolling in Code View and seeing the image you want to work with in Preview, one merely right-clicks on the image src url in Code view and selects "Open Tab For Image" and .... voila! There's your Tab. There's your image filename highlighted in the Book Browser.
I don't think we'd be opposed to having an image clicked on in Preview opening the image's tab if it's easily achievable (we've added the ability for clicking links in Preview to open new tabs after all). But if it proves complicated/difficult, I'm not really seeing a lot motivation to work on something that's pretty easily achievable via other (similar) methods.
