It should be possible to open MultimediaViewer just by passing a file name and maybe a callback for generating prev/next file names. On one hand, that would make testing of image-specific problems easier (one could just fire up the lightbox from the console, without editing any page); more importantly, it would enable community gadgets to do interesting things with it.
