Weighted Cards (or something of the like)

I am trying to import a game that has customizable decks, and there are duplicates of some cards. As it stands, Roll20 does not allow you to use the same image twice in a deck, and it is a hassle to upload multiple copies of the same card for no reason. If a deck could have an option that let you duplicate a card within the deck, or a functionally identical effect such as weighting cards (as in rollable tables), that would be grand. Could this be achieved?
I guess you could just make it as a rollable table instead of a deck. At least in rollable tables you can put an image as the icon. SO in theory you could just put your card face there.
If I were to use a rollable table to create a 52-card playing deck that had the addition of 4 identical Jokers, I would be pretty disappointed the first time I drew two copies of a Two of Clubs in the same hand. Plus the cards can't be recalled, shuffled, hidden, etc. This is something that needs to happen with decks specifically.
I also want to make it easy to add/remove cards from a deck. Something simple like "Duplicate Card" like you can do with Characters in the Journal to make it show up more than once.

Could this be achieved? +1 to the ability to duplicate a card easily, it would make duplicating the chits for hex and chit wargames much easier for the ones that require a random draw. Robert - you can drag an uploaded asset from your sidebar over to the new card window, which does allow you to reuse the same image multiple times. It's far from ideal, but does work in the interim.
