I'm not saying that the photograph (etc) is alluding to the character, but rather the episode (etc) is alluding to the character, as opposed to actually containing them. So in this sense an impersonation is still an allusion, just as much as it is an illusion (heh), as the character isn't actually being shown, but is instead being hinted at, referenced. Reused footage seems to work just as well here.
