There are times when I want to use a single image from an existing gallery in an article. What I would like to do would be something like this:

{gallery}mygallery/image.jpg{/gallery} The image would then appear as a thumbnail in the article with the viewer having the option of viewing it in the light box if clicked on. As its is only intended to show that image, there would be no need for the next and back button. What would be good too would be an extra parameter that would allow the image to float either left or right in the article.

Any chance of this in the future?

I think K2 features is closer to what you are looking for.
