No, "javascript:" links never make sense. Especially not when they
link to pop-up scripts that may be blocked by all kind of software
these days. We should really consider people who don't have JavaScript
at their disposal, too.

You can easily just apply the JavaScript when it is possible:

Without JavaScript, this one just links to the main image. If you
replace the main image with a PHP script that shows the image and a
navigation around it, you are in business.
I've done that with a similar script at: http://www.pop-portraits.com/

If you use Picasa for your image manipulation you could also take a
look at the template that uses the same trick:
