Describe what problem this solves and why this would be valuable to many users

Direct Links are important so that they can be used in other applications. For example, I intend to use Photoprism to store all the images of the products we manufacture. I will create SKU-wise directories to store them, and I would like to use direct links to the images that other services such as Shopify, Amazon could read from.

I think there would be several other use-cases, such as embedding into blogs, etc that would make direct links very useful

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to get the direct links to images easily:

In the list view of a folder, have a column that shows the direct link
An icon in the top right when in picture view mode to be able to copy the link to the clipboard

Describe alternatives you've considered

Directly getting the link from the server manually, but that is very cumbersome
