Using Facebook Graph API I can post a link with a picture to /feed, but I already learned that if I want a big picture I should post to /photos: 

var postParams =
  {'url': 'http://example.com/mypic.jpg',
   'link': 'http://example.com/mysite.html'};
FB.api('/ID/photos', 'post', postParams, function(respPost) {...});

ID could even be a group Id (I tried). However, the 'link' doesn't work. Clicking on the published picture simply takes me to see it in a bigger mode.

How can I post a big picture that links to an external site?
I did see posts like this...

Note: there is a related older stackoverflow post that refers to using php and does not seem to help here: Posting a link via the Facebook graph API with a large picture

Facebook will display your post with a small or big picture automatically depending on what its algorithms feel is best for your content. You cannot manually request how your story will be displayed on timeline/newsfeed beyond providing the message / images you wish to share via Open Graph tags.
