Allow screenshots to be shown as a segment comment

It would be great for software localization if segment comments could contain screenshots as well. Right now, we can only add text as an explanation from developers, but each string is also associated with a screenshot. Of course, I can attach them as resources, but then the translator still has to search which screenshot corresponds with which segment. It would be best if the screenshot could be displayed here:

Trados Enterprise interface showing a segment labeled 't Login' with a corresponding comment from a developer stating 'Button to start the login'. A red arrow points to the comment section indicating where screenshots could be displayed.

I agree this would have been helpful, except from Word/Excel document it's quite complicated to do this via preview..

We will not add support for multimedia into comments. This requirement can be solved via preview where each segment can be associated with a picture - depending on file format, in case of XML this can be done via existing functionality using appropriate XML structures and XSLT transformations, or in case of other file types via custom preview.
