Flickr, referrer and media browser

Hello,

I am the author of the Flickr Refer Comments greasemonkey script. It is a GM script that will leave a little note in Flickr comments automatically saying where you found the photo (on a user stream, in a group pool, in someone's comment, etc...)

All this is based on the document.referrer javascript field usually filled by the browser.
After checking, when going to a photo from the media browser in Flock (or the my world page), the document.referrer is empty, so the script can't say anything.

I was wondering if Flock could fill up this variable even when coming from the media browser, with some hint of what was displayed? or if there was any other way of knowing this from the GM script.
