Not to long ago I started a discussion on an mw.file object
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua_requests#How_about_a_mw.file_api
I didn't really get much further than that though.

You can do {{filepath:Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg}} (Sorry, probably should have said that in the first place)

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_M..." string. KML files like [2] , called by our templates [3] hotlinking directly to commons images.

I was working lately on a template on commons related to automatic overlay KML creation (see [1] for KML use on Commons). Two of the items I need but do not know how to access are full file dimensions in pixels and the url to the raw image (like [2]). I think with Lua, I can use HTML Parser [3] to parse the file page, but there must be a simpler way to access those.

You can link to special:filepath/filename to get path, but full
dimensions
are unavailablr.
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.
