If you are utilizing Jquery, opt for Jquery Dialogs. In case Jquery Mobile is your choice, go for popups. Make sure to set the onclick method of your image-click to trigger the popup display. If Jquery is your preference, utilize this code snippet to create a fullscreen popup image (utilizing a dialog).
For incorporating a link in your table:
<a href="#myPopupDialog" data-rel="popup" data-position-to="window" data-transition="fade" class="ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-btn-inline">
<img border="0" src="abc.jpg" width="100" height="100">
</a>
Regarding the popup content:
<div data-role="main" class="ui-content">
<h2>Welcome to my Popup Dialog!</h2>
<p>jQuery Mobile is FUN!</p>
<a href="#" class="ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-btn-inline ui-btn-b ui-icon-back ui-btn-icon-left" data-rel="back">
<img border="0" src="abc.jpg" width="1000" height="1000">
</a>
</div>
