Option to bypass image proxying

Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem?

As requested here;

https://slrpnk.net/post/24098794

When an attached image is loaded in posts / comments, then if the loading fails the app should check if it's using proxying (domain belongs to posters'/forums' instance or user's instance & contains redirect format URL pointing to another domain) and give you a button to press to retry, which would then provide the option to bypass the proxy and requesting the original image directly

Motivation: I keep seeing broken image embeds and can't be bothered to view source and try the redirect section in my browser after rewriting it to a proper link for every failed image load

Let the app do that for me

Feature Description

On images, provide an option to open the image URL, including an option to rewrite proxy URLs to go directly to the original

Alternative Solutions

Give an option to retry fetching images which failed to load

Additional Context
