Are you trying to say that the org code for inline images should figure
out that such a link should *not* be inlined because it would open a
non-image file? If so, how would you define "non-image file"? And would
that definition vary depending on the capabilities of one's emacs (e.g.
maybe my emacs can display PNG files but not GIF files)?
