At the Google Images preview pan the script adds a button that opens an image in a new tab

I like the idea, but the task is complicated, so I won't be doing this right now
Ok! I’ve made that script several times (last on 6 Nov 25) https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/495525-papaz-google-direct-image-links/code , but I’m busy too. I may do a quick-and-dirty variation later.
It works. BUT a more useful script would be the classic behavior of previous "Google Images direct links" scripts.
Pressing the thumbnail on the search results to go directly to the image (no google preview pad at all). And the title below to go the page. If you can pull this out it would be nice and useful.
