CKEditor. Open image properties window with a default value

Question

I've been looking at the API and I can not figure out how to open the image dialog with a default url. I use the execCommand function, as follows:

var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1;
editor.execCommand ('image');

This works fine, but I want to give some value. I tested with:

editor.execCommand ('image', {
   url: myrURL,
});

It does not work though. Please, I need help.

To set default value, you got to use the dialogDefinition event to modify dialog fields (see this answer: How do I programatically set default table properties for CKEditor?).

To change the value dynamically:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {
    extraPlugins: 'devtools', // useful for dialog development
    on: {
        dialogShow: function ( evt ) {
            var dialog = evt.data;

            if ( dialog.getName() == 'image' )
                dialog.setValueOf( 'info', 'txtUrl', 'http://foo.com' );
        }
    }
});
