2nd edit: Nope to all! Biziclop, could you please expand on your success?

Sorry, I was lazy yesterday.

I used the Image Max URL add-on for Firefox, which helps finding the largest version of images:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-max-url/

https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl#readme

I chose this random photo, because the uploader disabled downloading:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/eagle1effi/33768215291/

The add-on presented me with the largest available image (intended for displaying only of course), which has this link:

https://live.staticflickr.com/2941/33768215291_ec2b6dd46c_4k.jpg

… which I just pasted to the editor and clicked the appearing left thingie and chose Embed.

Let's see a photo allowing downloads:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/kokoschkas_doll/29566253866/

Click the download icon at the right bottom of the dark area, click View All Sizes:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/kokoschkas_doll/29566253866/sizes/

Pick a resolution, probably the original:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/kokoschkas_doll/29566253866/sizes/o/

and either copy the image location by using right-click:

https://live.staticflickr.com/8339/29566253866_77a1281411_o.jpg

or copy the link target of the Download the Original/etc size of this photo:

https://live.staticflickr.com/8339/29566253866_77a1281411_o_d.jpg

Notice the added _d in the link, which forces download when opened in a new browser tab/window.

Normal image link embedded

Nasty auto-downloading link embedded to screw people wanting pixel-peep in the browser

EDIT:

Apparently dpreview always loads the huge original photo this way and does not make a small, quick loading preview.
