Please add an  'Open image in new tab'  button to the  'Page Info | Media'  dialog

Images on webpages are often shown at a reduced size to better fit the page or window. Viewing them at full size is easy to do through the right-click context menu ('Open image in new tab'), but many website owners disable that. 

When that happens, you can still use the  'Page Info | Media'  interface to find the URL of the image. You can copy the URL manually, open a new tab and load the image there - and then you can finally view it at full size. 

I'm doing so on an almost daily basis, for instance to have a better look at items on an auction or real estate website. However, when you want to do this with a whole bunch of images, the procedure becomes a little tedious. It would be a great help if the Media tab could offer an 'Open in new tab' button to make things easier and save users a lot of time.

I know that there are workarounds, but I'd prefer the solution that I described here.  Thanks for your consideration!
