If you do something like that, you copy only the "rectangle" (and it's
properties) at the same coordinates, right ?

If you want to apply the same scale, opacity, rotation angle, ... of the
first "image" to the second one, you can use something like this:


tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
    set myDoc to active document
    
    tell myDoc
        -- path & name of the first image :
        set thePath to (file path of link 1) as text

         -- object reference of the first image:
        set thePic to parent of link 1
        
        set myProp to properties of thePic
    end tell
end tell



Now, you can select (store) each property and apply to the second image.
