Apply an Image Action

Commonly used are eventhalders like Mouse Click, Mouse Enter or Mouse Exit.
I will focus on Mouse Click because Actions are applied exactly the same way, whichever option you choose.
When you want to open a new window, - with some browser window chrome turned of or a specific browser window size, you will use a sort of Window-Open action.
