 it would be good if you put image sizes specially for lightbox plugins.

 it is already possible to edit A tag's href attributes manually by adding
 something like "-768x1024" but that endings differ for different images so
 it is not easy.

 it is not possible to edit links of images of gallery at all, though it is
 possible to copy-past gallery code from preview's html source and then
 edit it manually.

 by default single images and gallery images link to full version of image
 or to attachment page, and it is not possible to change to smaller version
 from gui.

 it would be good if it would be possible to easily select smaller image
 from gui because as i said they can have different endings. and it would
 be especially more comfortable for galleries because it would change many
 links at once.

 maybe it would be good to provide additional image address in additional
 attribute for usage by lightbox plugins. so A tags around image might link
 to full image or attachment as configured and lightboxes would get get
 image address from custom attribute.
