Answer 1

Assuming you are using capybara to back your cucumber specs something like the following step should do the trick.

When /^I follow image link "([^"]*)"$/ do |img_alt|
    find(:xpath, "//img[@alt = '#{img_alt}']/parent::a").click()
end

In the spec you can now just say

When I follow image link "Running"

The general idea is that you need some kind of custom step to handle this.
