Input socket for Image Texture shader node

The problem: If you want to create a re-usable nodegroup for texture mapping, for example this trick: [How to Tile a Texture Without Repetition - Blender Tutorial] It can’t really be done cleanly. Because the image texture is needed inside the nodegroup (twice, even) with stuff going into the vector socket and the output being blended afterwards. One solution for this is to not create a nodegroup, but and add-on which replaces an image texture node with a node group containing th…

Would you be able to share or explain that “quick hack” you made to add an input onto an Image Texture node? I’m encountering the exact same issue you did of the conflated Image + Mapping operations that the node does, and having access to what you did in this thread would solve a huge problem for me in a project I’m working on.
