Move your mouse over a pin, and press the 'z' key to open the largest (original) image Pinterest has for that pin. By default it will open in a new tab in the foreground. Pressing 'Shift-z' will open in a background tab.

Requirements:

Must be logged in (original image URL doesn't seem to exist in the code when logged out)
Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey on a recent version of Firefox or Chrome.

Known issues:

Story pins (multiple images per pin) only opens the first image.
Doesn't work on "Visually similar results".
If you're not hovering over an image and press 'z', it will open the very first image in the pin grid.

Notes:

Pressing 'z' on a close-up image (after clicking a pin) should also work.
I mainly only test this with the Tampermonkey add-on on the most recent version of Firefox. Other setups may or may not work.
