Make image links visible to browser in Image Galleries

For a regular image, when I hover my mouse over it, it shows the link in the browser status bar, which has been normal behavior for websites and browsers for a long time. But if I have images in an Image Gallery that link to external websites (for example, a group of sponsors with their logo images that I have linked to each respective website), when I hover my mouse over those, nothing shows up in the status bar. Is there a way to get the same behavior for images in an Image Gallery as I get for just a plain image that is linked somewhere? Many people use this long-standing feature as part of their “safe browsing” technique.
