Link the image to an intermediate page, that processes their username, picture name, etc, then redirects to correct website seemlessly.

so the hyperlink contains the user deatails and say an id for the image so that when the image is clicked the intermediate page records that users details and the image they clicked on and then looks up the url (in a db for example) for that particulart image and then redirects the user to the appropriate page
