is there a way to embed a HTML link per image on the slideshow start page so i could like to a couple of different albums?
Yes, but that would require changing your start folder. Instead of having it as "filemod -> slideshow", you would need to change it to be a normal gallery folder, and instead apply some folder parameters to achieve a similar display mode as you currently have.
https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/folder-parameters/
Scroll down to examples -> slideshow, and basically use the example code and paste into your folder parameters for the start folder (which you have changed to be "gallery" instead of "filemod")
settings.startmode=image&image.slideshow.autostart=true&thumbnails.thumbnailscroller.enabled=false&controls.largecontrols.enabled=false&controls.maincontrols.enabled=false&image.imagebuttons.enabled=false&image.closebutton.enabled=false
The above would remove the interface controls, leaving the slideshow similar to your current mode. The difference being that this is the gallery, so links when clicking the image will work. You may need to go to settings -> image.image.click, make sure its set to "link".
