HI Tim,
There isn't a core MediaWiki way to do this, but take a look at the Click extension. I've installed it and works well.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Image linking
Hi,
I'm trying to make a link out of an embedded image. In HTML terms, an <a/> tag wrapped around an <img/> tag.
I tried the following syntax, per the docs<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Link>:
[[Image:Pic.jpg|link=http://google.com/]]
But the link assigned to the image is always the image description page on the wiki; not the specified link (google.com).
I also tried the direct linking method:
[http://linktopage http://linktoImage]
But our wiki engine ignore the syntax.
Is there another way to make a link out of an image? Also, are there any wiki configuration settings that an admin might need to tweak to make something like this work?
Thanks,
Tim
