I am (vaguely) aware of API call capabilities, for example I know ImageAnnotator.js [1]
has access to image size, since it is using it. But Bawolff is right, I am trying to
access it from Lua or template code.
As for file path, I am still confused. I tried to use Special:ExpandTemplates to test
several possible syntaxes:
[[Special:filepath/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
[[Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
[[:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]]
{{subst:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg}}
And the first 3 give me a blue-link while the 4-th one does not work. I was hoping to get
"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Verschaffelt_Moses_von_Michelangelo.jpg"
string. KML files like [2] , called by our templates [3] hotlinking directly to commons
images.

Wouldn't it be a solution to add the full dimensions (+ MIME type etc)
to the API (&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata), would it?

I believe Jarek is looking to get the info from wikitext, so that wouldnt help him.
Additionally if you have access to the api, you can use iiprop=dimensions already.
This is a somewhat commonly requested thing (e.g. some folks on wikipedia want to make a
gallery lua module that takes aspect ratio into account), so adding an interface to lua
to retrieve this info would make sense imo.
