I'm trying this as a macro, I swear it used to work. [table-result](<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/2njdr5y92lmxgd6/table-minion.png?raw=1#.png" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/2njdr5y92lmxgd6/table-minion.png?raw=1#.png</a>) And now I just get a clickable "table-result" in the chat window; it opens the dialog to "external link". What'd I miss?

Looks like there's some kind of redirect on that link. The image location in your link is not where it eventually resolves to. I'd try a different  image hosting service, one that supplies direct links, like imgur, perhaps.
