Note: I'm not sure of the lineage tool is an official part of MS or a side project by Rosehill.
A question about the Lineage Tool...
It used to display the creature images and include a link to each creature when it displayed the pedigree but no longer does so for me. This has made the tool far less useful when trying to figure out a creatures lineage.
Is this a planned change to the tool or a glitch?
Thanks for any help!

I checked this out and you are right, the pet images no longer show, and links for the pets aren't provided anymore either. I am not sure if I would call this a glitch. It's possible that providing those links and images is costing $$ that might be better spent elsewhere, like keeping the IFN website up. Also will take a small shot in the dark and say, it's possible the tool doesn't get used a lot. It's also possible that the coding for the tool needs to be updated. According to the copyright it says year 2017, so that's been four years (soon 5yrs) of not being up to date in coding, so this might be a factor, but I am just guessing.
I like this tool very much and I have used it on occasion in the past and just now due to checking to see the issues you were talking about, but admittedly I can count in one hand how many times a year I use it. =/ Which sucks because it's a very useful tool to use when you do need it to check your breedings.
The tool still does it's job though, it can tell you how many generations exactly a creature is and can tell you if it's inbred or not, it can also tell you if the creature is hidden or if any parents etc are hidden. It's all in text information and it does show you the actual pedigree tree itself, no links and no images anymore but in essence it still is functional.
The person who can answer this best is of course Rosehill thou.
