This is critically needed and already exists in Power BI Desktop

With bookmarking now standard in the BI Service, the ability to insert images instead of only the basic shapes would be invaluable. When authoring reports within the Power BI Service I cannot use a lot of the amazing functionality of bookmarking because the standard shape library (rectangle, oval, line, triangle, arrow) do not look professional enough for a company report.

RE: Insert Images from file in the Power BI Service

Now that we are using the service more and more for people to create reports I noticed that you cannot add a picture from file to a report in the Power BI Service. Huh? Strange isn't it?

The workaround is not ideal: create the start of the report first, in Power BI desktop, upload it, and continue from there. Not really ideal. And what if you need to change the image? This applies both to "normal images", like logo's and background images.

This idea may not get 10K votes, But I think this functionality just has to be in there. There are many ideas that address this subject. Better put them all together.
