I have been working with umbraco for a while now and the customization options are great, theres one thing i am looking for that i haven't found a way to do yet.
In the media section, when you upload a file you get the link of the file after you save it just above the upload fields, in images you get a preview of the image itself and to get the link to the image you have to click on it and copy the address out. I know this makes perfect sense to me but not to the clients I have to customize the site for so I was wondering if there was a way to either add the path to the image in to that section, or if I am missing a special command that I can add as a label along with the other labels already in the media image item "umbracoHeight, umbracoBytes"
it doesn't make sense to add path to images in media section as a media item could be used from different sites in the same umbraco instances, which could have different host names attached, so the link to the media item is *unknown* until runtime (that is, when a page containing a link to a media item is being rendered
But, nothing prevents you from adding an extra property (could be of label type), and save domain info (if you're only having one, that'll make it simpler) when the media item is being uploaded. Can be done using the umbraco event model for media items.
alright, i think i am understanding how code words like umbracoHeight, umbracoBytes and umbracoNaviHide are used now. they are just standard names of keywords rather than special keywords that umbraco recognizes and does processing for on their own.
Adding Path to media images

Also if someone could direct me to a list of those special commands that would be great, if that list exists, the closest i have found to that is this:
