If they were then you'd have to do one of two things: 1) ocr all images to check if they are QR codes 2) embed metadata saying that this image is a QR code and a link. If you were betting on the metadata then why not just create a link directly...

i think using embeded metadata would be the way to go, but we would somehow need to inform every dev in the world to do so
