Option in GalleryArticles plugin

Hi Stephen,

Currently the GalleryArticles plugin publishes news articles with the title of the article linking to the news item.
The thumbnail image in the article links to the new album or image.
It would be ideal if there was an option in the plugin settings, maybe a tick box, for the title of the article to link to the new album or new image instead of the full article. This is very intuitive for users as they would possibly prefer to see the new album by clicking on the title then the full article. I hope you are open for this feature.

At present, the image shown will link to the album/image. It seems that the link you are referring to is the link to the news article from the list of news articles. If so, that cannot be changed, nor should it be. That is a standard link from the list. That is normally used to view a complete article when the list shows a truncated version.

The actual article does not have a link associated with the title. It would quickly become unintuitive to have some summary articles point to the full article and others to an image/album. It would be possible to add a link to the image/album as part of the body of the article. But of course that would be redundant.
