lynx uses an external viewer for the image, which can be a shell script
that determines the filename and manipulates it appropriately, e.g.,
in lynx.cfg (actually I define $LYNX_CFG to be a private file):
XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:my-viewer xli %s &
script my-viewer
#!/bin/sh
# $1 is viewer
# $2 is filename
chmod 600 $2
myfile=`echo $2 | sed -e 's@\(.*/tmp/\)\([^/]*/\)\?\(.*\)@\1my\3@'`
ln $2 $myfile || exit 1
trap "rm -f $myfile" 0 1 2 5 15
eval $1 $myfile
