I was thinking it could work like Peeron's [ref] links, and pop up another
window. Not a great solution, but easier than having to remember to
right-click the hyperlink all the time (IMO).

I agree. But I think (and I could be wrong) that people use the PT parts
list differently than a Peeron inventory. With an inventory, people are
more likely to be interested in the whole thing. With the PT parts list,
I'd expect that people are more likely to be trying to zoom in on single
entries. And there are some entries in the PT list (files already
certified) that will be frequently un-useful.
Let's worry about getting the images first, then we can hash out how to
present them in a way that is most useful, and doesn't thrash the server.

| (...) And thinking about it, I don't really think images for sub-parts & primitives would be super useful - generally these would be certified in conjunction with a part which references them, no? ROSCO (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Yep, that's the right place to focus. I think Rosco may be right too, subpart images are not as useful. Does that cut the volume down at all usefully, though? (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.cad)
