Following up on this, I understand how this works for _new_ images that
I add to a document: my document listener will receive a DOM mutation
event for each newly inserted image, at which point I can add my click
listener.  However, what happens if I'm loading a document with existing
images?  I'd like the existing images (in addition to new images that I
add to the document) to have click handlers as well.

Apologies if I'm just missing something obvious here!
