is it possible to display images from wiki commons via interlinking? (normal interlinking works and is set to local) thx!

I think you may need to clarify your question, because I'm not sure what it is you are asking: * to what site are you referring? your own installation of MediaWiki? * by "wiki commons" do you mean http://commons.wikimedia.org/?

If the above guesses are correct, I fear the answer is "no" - I believe the images are available for direct inclusion only on other Wikimedia projects. Apart from rather confusing licensing issues, this would make sense because Wikimedia's servers are already heavily over-worked, and allowing (indeed encouraging) people to download images from them when viewing an unrelated site would be all strain and no gain.

I'm also not sure what exactly you mean by "normal interlinking" being "set to local" - do you mean [[links like this]]? Or perhaps [[fr:interlanguage]] or [[meta:interwiki]] links? I don't quite see how either of these can be "set to local", but that may be irrelevant if I'm right above about the main substance of your question.
