it seems to me that this would be pretty easy to do:

if you look at:
source/mircoders/media/MediaHandlerImagesExtern.java

all the thumbnail generating code is right there...

all you would have to do is write a MediaHandler which extends this
class, overriding the produce method so that it also scales down the
image by a different ratio and writes that say to images/scaled, and
make the appropriate changes in the templates, adding links to the
original version.

you'll also see in there that you get entity attributes img_height and
img_width set at produce time which would allow you to include the
full size with the link to the full size version.

doing the linking of scaled pages to each other gallery style might be
harder....
