This doesn't need a new tag.  We plan, for 1.10 to provide an API
for getting an absolute URL for an object. For example, you'll be able
to do something like:

  <!--#var someobject fmt=ZAbsoluteURL-->

We also plan to modify image objects so that they use this URL 
when generating IMG tags.

BTW, we also plan to provide standard size attributes for images
and to include this information in generated IMG tags when available.
We plan to use the code contributed by Ty Sarna to determine
image dimensions when possible and we plan to let you edit image sizes.
