hyperlinks

mechanize's Browser class is great and it's follow_link() function is great too. But what to do with this kind of links:

<a href="http://example.com"><img src="…"></a>

Is there any way to follow such links? The text attribute of this type of links is simply '[IMG]', so AFAIK, there is no way to differentiate such links. Any help would be appreciated.
