So using class=shutter” does work, but I forgot to set my effect to Shutter in the NGG Options page (was thickbox) before I tested it.

So use this instead:

If you use the Thickbox effect, just use class=”thickbox” instead of class=”shutter”

Here’s the simplest way, but it’s only a direct link to the image and not a link to a page that uses your theme template to show the image:

Get to wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php via FTP or WP edit plugins. If you edit the gallery.php, it will change how all galleries are shown.

(Best is to grab the file via FTP and save gallery.php as gallery-gallery2.php, edit, put into the same directory. use [nggallery id=X template=gallery2] shortcode on your page. Search google for where to put ngg templates in your theme directory so they don’t get deleted when upgrading.)

This is what needs to be added:
<span> <a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>"> Link </a> </span>

Here’s the Thumbnails section in full with the addition:

<!-- Thumbnails -->
	<?php foreach ( $images as $image ) : ?>

	<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" <?php echo $image->style ?> >
		<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
			<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" 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>
			<span> <a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>"> Link </a> </span>
		</div>
	</div>
