Make finding pictures in your library easier.

So I had an idea that may have already been suggested as it is not an especially novel one in my opinion. If anyone knows of this suggestion already existing please post it so we can give it more visibility. The tags we can put on pictures in our library are a great tool for finding old pictures that we may not have used in a while, but I doubt I am speaking for myself when I say we sometimes forget to tag every image properly when we are creating characters and handouts, and some users may not know of tags at all. My suggestion: Is the ability to pull up the location of an image in our library by right clicking the image and selecting an option "view in library". AND/OR: To create a button on character sheets and handouts that allows us to search for the picture on them in our library. The two major benefits I see from this are as follows: Allow users to tag images they have not yet tagged and are having difficulty finding in their library of hundreds of NPC images (yes I have a problem). We all know that character sheets are a major draw on game resources, they slow down the game immensely for some users, being able to quickly and easily find the picture you are using on a character sheet by dragging it to the table and then using that picture to create a handout for the NPC when you no longer need to have stats for them could vastly improve performance for all users. Or conversely if you have an NPC made as a handout but need to create a character sheet for them it would be so much easier to do so with this functionality. I imagine this could be easy to implement as well. Each image is saved to our library and may already have an ID or metadata associated with it when you pull it to the table tying it back to your library. At the very least I know the images on character sheets and handouts are linked with our library seeing as if you delete a picture from your library the image no longer appears on the sheets it was placed on. So even if a functionality allowing us to open the library from the table isn't easily implemented I imagine doing so from sheets and handouts could likely be quite simple. We can already open the library in game, and we can already search the library, so I'd think that all that would need to be done is to add a button that opens and searches the library for the picture on the sheet/handout. I welcome any and all suggestions on how to improve this idea.
