Question Importing .mobi cover image from HTML

When using mobigen, I could include a <meta name="cover" content="cover.jpg" /> tag in the <head> of a HTML source document to import the cover into a .mobi book.

ebook-convert does not seem to support this and I was wondering if there was an alternative method.

The only way that I see to do it currently is either to search the file and use the --cover argument or to generate a .opf container for the book. As best I can tell, generating the .opf requires me to also extract other metadata and build the <guide> and <spine>, and I'd like to avoid the extra work.

Is there a way to specify the cover in the HTML file?
