Bug Description

This is more of a feature request.
When right clicking on the picture selector at the bottom of the page or the icon in the top bar and selecting Image > Where is it from? I expected it to bring me to the unsplash web page where this image is hosted or to the folder where it resides in my file system.

I agree that the current behaviour is somewhat confusing.

Maybe this needs better wording, e.g. "Which source fetched this". The intention here is for the user to know which image source fetched the image, so that they can disable it if they don't like it, or add more like it if they like it. There is another way more prominent option "View at XXXX" to jump to the webpage the image is hosted on, and there is also the first option in the menu (the one with the image name as label) to open the file itself (and most image viewers from there allow you to open or browse its folder too).

The option of "View at XXXX" does not work for all sources, when comming from the website flickr it work, but not when the image comes from Unsplash.com this is demonstrated in the two attached screenshots

I could not add multiple screenshots so here is the one showing unsplash. It shows the file path, but since it comes from a website you would expect to have Variety bring you to the website page.
