If you want to / have to use older jQuery Versions (e.g. because of a Drupal Module) get rid of the .on() and use

< a href="javascript:;" id="launcher">LINK TO TOPEN GALLERY< /a>

and

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("#launcher").click(function() {
        $(".imagefield-fancybox").eq(0).trigger("click");
    });
});

instead.

Works also with older jQuery Versions. Replace ".imagefield-fancybox" with the class you are using.
