How to embed a link in a JPEG (or other image file)?

Question

Hello everyone,  This is my first request on the forum! I am in the process of creating a database made up of screenshots in .jpg format and I'm looking for a solution to insert the link to the page from which I captured each image.  Apparently, according to my research, this would not be possible in the file properties... (?!)  Does anyone have any ideas!  Thanks in advance :) Raphaël

With what language / software?

If you want a clickable link on the image file, then no, that's not possible.  -- We help a hungry person more by teaching them to fish than by giving them a fish.

Hello matrix4422,  Thank you for your response. In that case, what to do? Insert a Notepad file into your database?  It's surprising that Microsoft has never thought of that! -- Raphaël

Hello,  Yes, we cannot insert an active link into an image.  I believe the correct approach would be to add a field to the database to store the original link of each image.  It will always be possible to write a piece of code that allows:  - to insert the original link somewhere on the page where it will be displayed.  - possibly to write on the photo (using a specialized image management library) its original address. (but this link will not be active, just informative).

If I understand correctly, there's no simple solution. Too bad, I'll just create a text file with the links. Not necessarily very practical but I'll make do with it.  Thank you all for your contributions.

Hello,  you can embed data in a jpg within the tags. You can very well use the 'Comments' tag for that, for example. Right-click on an image and then 'Properties' to view or edit them. But they aren't directly readable, so it's better to have a separate text field as well. Do a Google search on jpg tagger.  Eric  -- Never respond to an unsolicited DM... Well, that's that.
