Hello, I often click the images in those [Onebox](https://github.com/discourse/onebox), think it would open the linked page.  
But I am often surprised how those images (the left hand square main image) are not clickable, not linked.

I mainly used MB Discourse instance and [we actually now link those images](https://github.com/phw/discourse-musicbrainz-onebox/issues/13) (thanks to @phw), but it seems it’s a global Onebox template or usage to not link images.

Don’t you think it should be changed for #Contribute > UX reasons?  
Or do you think we betrayed the Onebox concept by doing so?

I guess the question is, do you think clicking anywhere in the one box should go to the target URL?

Aren’t there any Oneboxes where it displays distinct links to related stuff?
