Description
Describe your feature request
I would like the ability to insert images using base64 from graphical interface. Currently I have to switch to and from Source Code Mode in order to do this, which isn't very convenient.
What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
Just to make it more convenient to turn a Markdown file into a self-contained document.
Additional context [optional]
Mark Text already had support for displaying base64 URI for consumers of a document, it's only appropriate that its graphical interface will accomodate the same use case for creators of a document as well.

Research direction
Start by tracing the graphical interface's image insertion flow and compare it with the existing base64 URI display support. Inspect how Source Code Mode currently handles base64 images, then define the GUI behavior and verify that inserted images produce a self-contained Markdown document without requiring a mode switch.
