It has BLOB columns that contain video thumbnails in JPG format (around 100-500KB per row). I've registered an output formatter that extends `datasette.blob_renderer.render_blob` function and serves the column with `image/jpeg` content type. ```python from datasette.blob_renderer import render_blob async def render_jpg(datasette, database, rows, columns, request, table, view_name): response = await render_blob(datasette, database, rows, columns, request, table, view_name) response.content_type = ""image/jpeg"" response.headers[""Content-Disposition""] = f'inline; filename=""image.jpg""' return response @hookimpl def register_output_renderer(): return { ""extension"": ""jpg"", ""render"": render_jpg, ""can_render"": lambda: True, } ``` This works well. I can visit `http://localhost:8001/mydb/videos/1.jpg?_blob_column=thumbnail` and view the image. I want to display the image directly with an `` tag (lazy-loaded of course). So, I need a URL, because embedding base64 would increase the page size too much (each image > 100KB). Datasette generates a link with `.blob` extension for blob columns. It does this by calling `datasette.urls.row_blob` https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/7a2ed9f8a119e220b66d67c7b9e07cbab47b1196/datasette/views/table.py#L169-L179 But I have no way of getting the row inside the `render_cell` hook. ```python @hookimpl def render_cell(value, column, table, database, datasette): if isinstance(value, bytes) and imghdr.what(None, value): # generate url return '$renderedLink' ``` Any pointers?",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1300/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
