How would you detect that a link is actually an image and not, say, a
webpage?

I think the proper way to do this is to use formatted messages but
that's currently not implemented in Telepathy:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15449

If you just want to play with the code and try a quick hack, this
shouldn't be hard to do by hacking the Adium theme code
libempathy-gtk/empathy-theme-adium.c
But of course you'll have to use an Adium theme to test.
