   You need to add the NextGen Custom Fields template and to create an additional gallery template (gallery-linked.php, for example) in NextGen.

   First, use NextGen Custom Fields to add a "custom_link" field to your galleries, and enter the correct link URL to the field for each image.

   Then create a duplicate of nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php and name it gallery-linked.php (put the duplicate file in the same folder as the original gallery.php).

   In gallery-linked.php, find the <!-- Thumbnails --> section and add the anchor and linking code, using the content of the custom field for your URL destination. This is what my linking code looks like in gallery-linked.php file.

   <a href="<?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["custom_link"]; ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
   				<?php if ( !$image->hidden ) { ?>
   				<img title="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" <?php echo $image->size ?> />
   				<?php } ?>
   			</a>

   Hope that helps.

   I found the original forum post from Alex Rabe explaining how to do this hack. Probably clearer than my explanation above. It's at: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-is-it-possible-to-specify-url-links-in-thumbnails?replies=45
