Ideally, yes, but for now I'll settle with getting the data out anyhow.

The image detail template looks like an easier place to start.  I'm 
looking at adding this (below) at the end of the image detail table, 
though I think that's somewhat misplaced because it will (I guess) 
invoke the image selection logic rather than just export details for the 
current image.

Is there a template or module that constructs the menu bar at the left? 
  (A grep on the source tree doesn't reveal, e.g., the string 
"serve.pl?Page=OME::Web::XMLFileExport", so I guess the menu is 
constructed more dynamically?)

[[
<!-- New -->
				<tr>
					<td colspan='2'>
						<a href="/perl2/serve.pl?Page=OME::Web::XMLFileExportDTGED">Export 
OME/XML with annotations</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
<!-- End -->
]]

Will the present logic allow a URI that directly obtains XML data for a 
single image?  (The current logic uses a form button to initiate the 
export, so I'm guessing there's not a direct URI without adding some 
more logic.

I suppose I'd need to pick up the image ID and use that to construct a 
link that invokes something like the "action eq 'export'" logic from the 
current OME::Web::XMLFileExport::getPageBody function, supplying the 
image id directly from the link.  (Do the query components from the URI 
get passed in as CGI parameters?  Do they show up as a Perl hash or array?)

...

It would also help to create a direct link here to create a specific 
type of annotation.  I'm thinking a link with a target like:

javascript: annotateImage(<TMPL_VAR Name='id'>,"DTGEDImageAnnotation");

might do the trick.  Is this right?
