Add GM Force Zoom Capability to Handout Images

Thank you for considering this. I did a cursory scan of the fora and found that I'm not the first one to think of this. But, the topic I found was not in the Suggestions forum and was sunset after inactivity. So, I'm going to run this flag up the pole here because it would be useful to me. I really enjoy the ability to force zoom graphics that are on the map as tokens (Shift-Z). As a GM, I like displaying art as its full resolution the first time I reveal a handout. If I want to do this currently, the only way I know how to do it is to find the art I used for the handout in my art library, drop it onto the map as a token, then select that token and Shift-Z to Force Zoom for the players.  THEN, I reveal the handout that has the same piece of art in it (and it's zoomable, but only on click, without DM force zoom capability), so they can read text or refer to it later. It would be a really nice to avoid all that hunting for art (which I've linked inside the handout) in my art library so I can tokenize it and force-zoom for the handout reveal. This is particularly annoying if I'm using a purchased module, like Waterdeep Dragon Heist. There are many Handouts already prepared for me with the appropriate art, for which I'm grateful. That's exactly what I paid for the module, to make it easier for me. BUT, if I want to find that piece of art from page 23 in my art library so I can do the token trick, I won't find it there. Art in the pre-generated module handouts is not put into my art library (as far as I can tell). So, to properly use the token trick and get a force zoom for each handout, I have to download-and-reupload the art just so it will be in my art library, just so I can tokenize it and force zoom it. That's a whole lot of duplicated art in my library and a lot of extra effort on my part just to get a cool theater effect for my handout reveals. Please consider whether there might be a way to save me from this annoyance and add a Force Zoom (for GMs) button on Handouts. Thanks for the consideration. I and my players appreciate all you do for us.
