Yes but it exists, why not use it?

Open it in Sigil, delete the cover image, insert a new one. Done. No need for a guide element.

Yes, but the world is larger than Sigil.

Fair point. But the "right way" is arbitrary now, it's what you say is "right". I say "right" means putting an image at the beginning of the document. Again, there is no way to semantically specify the cover image in an epub that all reading systems would have to respect.

It's not arbitrary, it's in the spec. The fact that reading systems dont have to support it is immaterial, since the cover is also the first element in the spine.

The file pointed to is not present after importing. Sigil disassembles the imported epub and creates the NCX, OPF etc on export. These files are not stored after they are imported.

Doesn't mean you can't keep an internal pointer to the file and output it in the generated OPF.
