Get the URL of the selected image from a webpage selection using Applescript.

I already have a process in place that when I select some text on a webpage, this process will grab the page title, the selected text, and the page URL and create a formatted document in TextEdit. Now I would like to add to this process so that if I have also selected an image, it will grab the image URL too so that I can add to the new formatted document. The current process is a combination of Automator actions and Applescript.

Image: Everything in blue is selected, but the new document does not contain either the image or the image URL. I would like to add the image URL to the final document.

Oh, and the current process works whether the web browser is Safari, Chrome, or Chromium. I'd like to keep that flexibility too.

This is what the output of the current process looks like:

It was the first time in 52 years that the Hammers triumphed at Liverpool, and the first time in 33 years that Palace won on Chelsea’s turf.

These results reaffirm the belief that the Premier League is the most competitive and least predictable league in the world. Outside of Manchester City, which keeps winning at Etihad Stadium, there are no home comforts in England any longer.

All I need is to get that image URL and add it to the above and it will be a great day! 😎

Hope this all makes sense!
