Flag images within a multi-value ImageField [#1024536]

It will be very useful to be able to flag individual images within a multi-value ImageField. I don't think that is possible with the current version of Flag. Currently if I want to be able to flag images I have to make a node for each one, which poses a number of additional problems for me.

Thanks

This question was brought up several times before; e.g.:

#867832: New content type = CCK field
#334492: Flags Per Field
#881862: Discuss Flag CCK field possibility

The short answer: Flag can't do this because fields (the data they hold, to be exact) don't have an ID. Flag can only flag items that are identifiable. And, as Nate said, "even if we did know how to solve it, it wouldn't be handled in Flag module itself [but in a crontib]. I'm marking this as won't fix, since we don't have any plans to implement such functionality, even if we could."

I'll keep this issue open for a while.

Why?

Because I see that fago has a Field collection module (for D7) and, while I haven't looked into it, it might be that a collection has an ID and is therefore flaggable. (Not that we'll write integration for it; it's just that I don't have any other place where I can write down this piece of information.)

Field collection is indeed an entity, therefore has an ID, therefore is flaggable.

All doable with 7.x-2.x. There may be some integration required, but as said above, that wouldn't belong in this module but either in field collection or in a glue contrib module.
