Sigil doesn't work that way. What if the user just imported an image and placed it at the beginning of the file? Not to mention that an "add cover image" button is redundant because of the above way of doing this, which most people want to use anyway.

There should be no difference between a cover image and any other image in an epub. Any such difference would be arbitrary and artificial. Reading systems are not required to use the guide element, and even if they were, ebook authors are not required to specify a cover page.
