Which one? In Impress/Draw we have .uno:Crop (That is used for cropping 
with the mouse) and .uno:GrafAttrCrop (That opens the crop dialog)?

In Writer it is the property "GraphicCrop", a struct, type 
com.sun.star.text.GraphicCrop.

The crop property exists for pictures in Writer, for 
com.sun.star.text.TextGraphicObject and 
com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape as well. There is no problem to 
crop a picture using a macro. In a macro you need to set the GraphicCrop 
property, nothing more. Therefore there should be no need to change 
anything on the objects themselves, but write a UI for it.

(I'm no core developer, but see things from writing macros, so I might 
be totally wrong.)

Kind regards
