Problem Statement
When I paste images in claude code they show up as [Image #1]. Sometimes I am not sure which image I pasted.
Proposed Solution
Make these into inline links/buttons (TUI] should be able to handle it and if in windowing env, allow me to view these images in OS level Preview App. They do not even have to be inline. They can be like footnotes below the prompt box if that is what will make this possible.
Alternative Solutions
Assuming my image is in the clipboard still paste it in Preview App. But sometimes I may have overwritten the Clipboard.
