When you upload a single image, you can choose what you want the image to link to. Your choices are: any URL you type in, nothing, file url, or post url. Post URL makes it sound like you’ll be linking to the page you’re on when viewing the blog post, because average users don’t get the who image-as-post-type thing. We should relabel that button in the uploader to be easier to understand for the average user.
“Image URL” sounds like it would do the same thing as “File URL,” so that’s out. “Image Page” is better, but is there something even more appropriate that one of you can think of? Leave suggestions for this button label in the comments below.

Image details?

Image details implies metadata, not a standalone image surrounded by a regular page template.

The Codex mentions about “Linked to Image” and “Linked to Page” (http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments#Inserting_Images) so I think “Image URL” and “Image Page” can be a good match.
A small link to that Codex page to explain the difference couldn’t hurt as well.

Maybe Image File and Image Page?

Image Page sounds good

Yeah Image File and Image Page sounds about right. In retrospect “Image URL” might still be confusing because either option outputs URLs anyway.

Why not just label it as ‘slug’? Users are already use to that term from writing posts/pages, especially the seo-minded ones.
