 * Hi,
 * A normal & working link of your plugin will be:
 *     ```
       <a href="http://blog.melroy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ubuntu13.10-unity-menu.png" rel="lightbox[987]">
       ```
   
 * However, when I choose the Gallery feature in WordPress to add pictures to my
   post AND I select ‘Link to’: “Media file” instead of “Attachment”. I get the 
   following links in my gallery:
 *     ```
       <a rel='attachment' href='http://blog.melroy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Linux_mint_menu.jpg' rel="lightbox[987]">
       ```
   
 * You see a double rel in the a tag. This link won’t work 🙁
 * You should support the native WordPress Gallery feature! I hope you can help 
   me.
 * Live example:
