cannot link to an image location there. All you will get is the URL showing up.

What you can do is go to http://tinypic.com select the radio button for URL, paste the URL in, click Upload Now, and copy/paste the Direct Link for Layouts output into DU. Like so...
*edit - thanks LakeSuperiorView for the heads up about the broken link.

As a result, clicking it is not found. http://tinypic.com should work.
