You're on OSX, aren't you?  You can do something like:

  photo-viewer "cat > ~/photoid-for-key-%k.%t"

then just grab the jpg file and do with it whatever you like.

If you don't want to deal with the temp file, or just like getting the
data as a stream, you could try creating a named pipe (via mkfifo),
and catting the jpg data into it with something like

  photo-viewer "cat > my-named-pipe"
