I got the impression that linking referred to the inlining of images from
another site onto your own -- loading the images from a remote site into
your own HTML.

Framing implements HTML frames to make it separate a page into multiple
sections.   One section might only have your image, while another section
might only have something totally different.  ask.com does this to insert
a banner over pages that it finds, and images.google.com does this with 
images that it finds.

I agree that it would be terrible to do away with linking as you described
it, and they certainly could have come up with a better term for the
article!  :)
