I saw this link on some talkpage on enwiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_100:_A_Ranking_of_the_Most_Influential_Persons_in_History#/media/File:Mohammad_SAW.svg
Page on link doesn't display anythibg, because File:Mohammad_SAW.svg was replaced by another file on this page.
I assume, this should work different: if there is no such file, MediaViever link should open just specified page (or specified file).
