Description
With the mage layers option of leaflet SMW quieris is working in general, I could not find a way to set an image to the correct size or align it somehow so that coordinates make sense.
See this example:
https://maps.extension.wiki/wiki/User:Krabina/ImageLayers
while this is a silly example, image the image being a historical map of Berlin, where actual coordinates would make sense. However, the coordinates displayed to seem to "think" that a world map is shown.
In the leaflet documentation, I found the hint of the imageBounds parameter:
https://leafletjs.com/reference-1.7.1.html#imageoverlay
I guess if this is implemented then there would be an option to align actual coordinates with an image.
In case anyone has better hints on how to make this usable, please feel free to discuss this here.

Research direction
Start by locating the image-layer implementation and reviewing Leaflet's imageOverlay imageBounds documentation, then compare its behavior with the linked historical-map example. Done should provide a way to set image bounds so image layers can align with real coordinates instead of assuming a world map.
