addthis image in a lightbox

Hi

I have a question similar to the one posted here: http://www.addthis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=31578
I'm unable to add to that thread, hence this email.

Is it possible to have an 'addthis:image' option similar to the 'addthis:url' option? I realise both of these options can be stated in the meta tags of a page but I want to define these via a lightbox (I'm using Lightbox 2), so these are not separate pages.

As an example, for each lightbox entry I'd like to use something like this:

addthis:url="http://observingindia.com/index.html?lightbox=oi008"
addthis:image="http://observingindia.com/images/008_oi.jpg"

This is so the preview image in (for example) Facebook will use the image, but clicking the presented URL loads the image on my site in a lightbox.


I know this works when testing with the meta tags:
<meta property="og:url" content="http://observingindia.com/index.html?lightbox=oi008" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://observingindia.com/images/008_oi.jpg" />

Is an addthis:image option possible to do?

Thanks
