What I'm seeing against current HEAD is that if you add an image
artefact to a group and display it in a view (ie drag in a file and
select the desired image), then add an <img> element linking to that
image in the Title description (ie using the same url as the block), the
image will display in the description. If you delete the block (which
you would if you wanted the image to display in the description only),
the <img> link in the description region is broken.

I'm seeing this behaviour regardless of whether the user is logged in or
not.

My interpretation of the behaviour is that access to group artefacts is
forbidden unless they are available in a particular context (eg added as
a block to a view). The use case of displaying an artefact not otherwise
selected as a block has not been catered for.

I'm not sure whether the current behaviour is a feature or a bug. I
guess it depends whether a group view's description field is intended to
be text-only or potentially interact with any group assets. This is a
design call that a senior Mahara developer should make, so I'm parking
work on this bug until someone makes a call :).
