I think the question is if it's possible to add <img src=ssh://> to a webpage and have something dumb happen.

Exactly that, and I'm reasonably sure the answer is no.

I am sure there is some setup where that will work. Set a URL handler to open Emacs, format the filename as a TRAMP path, something like that. There are plenty of things that try to transparently SSH places, and I'm sure someone has accidentally hooked that into their browser.
