First image in post plus text link to series?

I wonder if there is a way to achieve the following with this plugin:

– Show the first image (of 4) of a lightbox series in the post, clicking it shows the lightbox series.
– Have a text link below this image to the lightbox also showing the whole series, also starting with this first image.
So: clicking the image in the post or the text link gives the same result.

What I’ve come up with myself is this:

<a href=“URL FIRST IMAGE“ rel="lightbox-1”>
	<img src="URL FIRST IMAGE" alt="" width="802" height="1200" class="size-full wp-image-1940" />
</a>

<a href=“URL SECOND IMAGE” rel="lightbox-1”>VIEW THIS SERIES</a>

<a href=“URL THIRD IMAGE“ rel="lightbox-1”></a> 

<a href=“URL FOURTH IMAGE” rel="lightbox-1”></a>

… but obviously when you click the text link the lightbox starts with the second image, showing the first image last, which is not what I want. When I would put the first image url in the text link this first image shows up twice in the lightbox.

Is there a way to solve this?
