Description

The new assignment builder allows one to create new problems, written in HTML.
We can include images using the usual <img> tag, but only if the file for that image is hosted elsewhere on the web.
It would be useful for authors trying to quickly write new questions if we could upload an image file in the assignment builder interface, and include it in the question.

Possibly there is a use case for other file types, but images is the primary use case I have in mind.
