I don’t think that’s necessary, it might be better to **have an explicit “full size” link for the image in the footer** (alongside “download”, which is a similar option), rather than this secret click to expand, which ceases to work in slideshow mode.

And for the record, @davidkingham, “download” is 95% the same thing as what you want, so you already have a workaround in slideshow mode. Try it.
