Just place an image on your card and use this script:

on mouseUp 
  put the value of the clickLine into photoToShow
  put the cphotoFolderPath of this stack into folderPath
  set the filename of img 1 to (folderPath& "/"&photoToShow)
  wait 10 seconds 
  hide image 1 
  send "choose browse tool "to me in 5 ticks
end mouseup
