If all you have for a picture is a static URL, this is how you find its photo page (which you'd want to do for all sorts of reasons, like EXIF data, owner identification and larger versions):
a) Take your link, which looks like this: http://static.flickr.com/60/172903873_2
b) Extract the ID number: 172903873
c) Take the standard format for a medium-sized image: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gn
d) Insert ID number: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gn
I may or may not look into learning how to write a Greasemonkey script for this - wouldn't be too hard. Just have it watch for images with the beginnings of the Flickr URL in them, then add a right click menu feature to do that automatically, and take you to the photo page proper instead of just the medium page.
