Hi,

it is not possible to do it using map offsets. Currently the only way
would be to use 'map-image' in layout, which has some limitations
(positioning relative to particular passage is not possible). We plan
to add new point symbol 'picture' which would make it possible to
insert external pictures into any scrap, but I am not sure how long it
takes to implement it.
