(In reply to Darius Daniel Grigoras from comment #7)
The use case that urged me to find a solution to this is the need to
anonymize thousands of pages of content.

In that case the image should retain its dimensions. Definitely an extension
task. Do you feel comfortable with Basic/Python/Java/Rust...?

No, I would agree this is a reasonable capability to include for work needed
implementing a _Special_ panel function for Find and Replace.

The missing piece now is _exposing_ a graphic object to the Find and Replace
actions.  MS Office provides matching for a graphic object with the "^g"
wildcard on both the Find and the Replace tabs.

During implementation for LibreOffice, specifics of the capability might need
to consider scaling/clipping to fit the replacement into the document (to
retain formatting) or just replace.
