Currently, in the book this happens to me, ig goes something like this:

"And then I read her note in handwriting:

<picture of note>"

If I long tap the note image, kobo opens the highlighting bar at bottom and shows a dialogue "No dictionary item found for ": ". Further allowing to look for translations of ": " and annotate this bit.

Does anyone think this is more useful than a zoom as a reaction to long tapping an image?

Oh, actually I see that there is no way to zoom within an epub at all, so that makes it even worse. I understand that in a text-only epub zooming has no point, but since epub allows embedding images, an ereader should support zooming in embedded images, regardless of via pinch, slider, or whatever else. I want to see those pictures in full, it is an expensive device, it can zoom in pictures, so why not let me do that in epubs?
