Yeah, it's indeed interesting, image handling is currently much too
basic in Emacs, so I appreciate any attempt to improve that.

But be careful with the keymap text prop.  E.g. when you would bind
mouse-5 and mouse-6 to zoom in/out images in this map, point may land
accidentally on an image when scrolling with the mouse wheel, and you
would continue with zooming this image...

You could also get collisions with important view-mode or org-mode or
whatever bindings...


Regards,

Michael.
