[Shotwell] enhancement request: return flickr url after upload

Hello,

I would like to have shotwell store the flickr url of the photo after
uploading the photo to flickr.

Here's my use case: I am traveling by bicycle and using shotwell to
store the photos from my camera and do a little processing.  When I
get internet access, I upload my photos from shotwell to flickr.  Then
I write locally (without internet access) a blog using wordpress, and
I include photos on this blog.  However, I can't complete the blog
entry without knowing the url of the photos on flickr.  Photos from my
blog are stored on flickr not on the site where wordpress sits.  Of
course I need the internet again to post the blog from my local
wordpress installation to the public one, but that in itself is very
fast.  It takes some time, which I often don't have on the internet,
to find the photo url and include it in the blog posting.

I realize this is probably an unusual use case, and I'm not sure how
difficult this is to implement, but perhaps there are others who would
find the same thing useful.  Although I haven't worked with flickr
API, I understand it is rather inclusive and not so difficult to use.

Thank you for considering.

Bryan
