This would be a nearly trivial product to write in Python, just create a
class subclassing OFS.Image.Image, add a property to store the link (use
the _properties attr) and override the tag method to return the code you
are looking for. Then modify the existing image add form (in
lib/python/OFS/dtml) to add a field for the link. 

Take a look at the existing image code (lib/python/OFS/Image.py) to see
how it works (specifically the tag method).
