Well, the "Link Items" module isn't what I thought. I discovered it as an unofficial module, and wound up upgrading to 2.1 against my better judgment to get it as an official module (I prefer to run stable releases, not RC). Skimming around fora lead me to believe it was a tool to make posting updated galleries to blogs easier. I expected it to generate HTML or something, with thumbnails.

I should read more closely, I suppose. I go to use it, and it isn't that at all. It's just...copy photo. It copies photos to other areas of the gallery. This "feature" was already built-in on gallery even in version 1. I don't get it. I don't see why this is a module.

Anyhow, is there such an animal as what I'm looking for? Something that'll maybe dump all "new" flagged photos from an album into HTML for posting thumbnails w/links to blogs?

This is the module description in Site Admin / Modules:
Create links to other albums or external urls

This is the note in README.html:
New Linkitem module creates links to other albums or external URLs.

You can't link a photo with this module. The "Create Link" feature for linking data items was already in 2.0.x core.
