I am not a gwibber developer, but I have looked into this issue a little
bit.  Hopefully there is something I'm missing, because it doesn't look
good.

Most photo sites have an easy way to build a thumbnail url, given the
link url.  The plixi image number must be converted to hexadecimal, but
even then, from what I can tell, plixi uses a number of possible servers
to host the thumbnails.  Basically the only way I have found to embed
plixi thumbnails is to have gwibber download the whole plixi page that
was linked, and then extract the links to the thumbnails.  That is
really not a clean solution, and can severely affect performance of the
client.
