At one time I brainstormed about perhaps using commas (or maybe 
semicolons or quotes) for this -- i.e., one could define the 
InterMap link as

    getpicturepath.php?album=$1&picture=$2

and then in markup one could write:

    GalleryImage:albumname,picturename.jpg

to get the results.  But it was just an odd thought at the time,
I figured it was too much of a "gratuitous feature" to be included
in the core.

One could always define "GalleryImage:" as a custom markup and
handle it that way.  :-)
