I exported my current session to json with tab session manager. This command
takes that json export (referred to as export.json), finds all the urls
that contain wallhaven.cc/w (i.e. all urls that are wallhaven images) and
passes them to gallery-dl. Gallery-dl then neatly downloads all of those images
in their original quality.
This workflow could be made better by creating a version of tab session manager that exports in a simpler (or more configurable format), and I could also turn this into a script that takes the wanted website formats as an argument. Invocation of the script might look something like:
tabsession-dl --format "wallhaven.cc/w" --format "reddit.com/r" \
--input-file export.json
