I'm not versed in Javascript, but I assume something like:

  function image(imgname) {
    window.open(imgname);
  }

Here, I think you want to use an attribute value template to extract the
href attribute on the image element:

  ... onClick="image('{@href}')" ...

I don't know the HTML/Javscript enough to tell if this will actually
work, but I assume your question is how to get a parameter into the
image() invocation.
