Yep, sounds like you understand correctly. I yanked the onImage event out of the component and put it into the onActivate of a new page (ViewImage) and replaced the actionlink with a pagelink. That works great and it also has the added benefit of providing a better browser caching experience because path to the image is the same no matter what page the dynamic image is loaded from.
