gemini browsers

Hello,

Section 5.4.2 of the Gemini spec states:

 > clients MUST NOT automatically make any network connections as part of
 > displaying links whose scheme corresponds to a network protocol

So Gemini clients can display things however they want, but you can't make a 
compliant client that automatically loads images.

In the same window? Sure! Just not automatically. The Lagrange client already 
does this with audio and images. If you click a link that leads to one of those 
file types, it will open a player or image viewer inline with the document.

Hope this answers your question.
