I agree with Greg and Jan, it would be great if you could link first
and then upload. Since the exact name the file gets may be unknown a
priori, perhaps just putting "[[Image:]]", then clicking on it to
upload the file, then when the file is uploaded have the "[[Image:]]"
link get pointed to it.
I have no idea how hard that would be to implement, of course.

I like this! it's the WikiWay -- link first, author second.
So the MediaWikiWay would be [[Image:ImageName.jpg|thumb|right|whatever
blah blah blah]] which would show up as either an broken image icon, or
a textual link to be clicked, which would cause an upload dialog.
