Add images to book comments ?

Is it possible to add images to book comments, like in the Author's Note?
I'm thinking of the copy-paste option.

The image will be stored in the metadata database (UUencoded I would think), so there might be a performance penalty of you use the feature extensively. If it's for alternate covers I suggest you put them into the 'data folder'.

I know about that option, but I meant just like with Author note - only copy-paste and YES.

Mo, storing images in comments is not a good idea, for performance reasons, so it isnt made convenient.

Worth adding: images in Notes are not stored in the notes database(<library>.notes/notes.db) , they're are stored in files in the '<library>.notes/resource' folder. The notes database contains calres:// links to those files.
