Whilst experimenting using "images" as backgrounds to moi designs - just now...
I thought a "V5 usability suggestion" could be:

If an image is imported, be nice if it created a 'smart object' or psuedo dumb
object in the object list- functionality = 2 improvements:

1. The object list - would/should allow the object: "image" to be hidden/visible
by clicking eye-icon (LHS object list).

and/or

2. If "image" is click-selected (RHS object list) add intuitivity:
Interactively opens the current / existing image dialogue (toggle click) -

exactly as two clicks would in tools section: VIEW/IMAGE.
