As far as I know, it is not there yet, but as you hope, I and many of
us (at least in Scandinavia) hope to have this as a part of the
program.

But I do see problems, when it is there, in what way to have this
presented in reports.

I have thought a solution this to be a appendix page to the program in
the same way as we do have index.
I have thought this also to be a way to add those photos of person
that are not included in the rtf-/word report. We knew that in present
situation one picture pr person and pr marriage is included in the
report.
( I also know that we can add more in word, but not everybody are
familiar with with this in Word, so put all the other pictures at the
end as an appendix )

However now it is important to have this included and so let the
reports be the next challenge.

And is is also important to handle this documents in it basic issue
and not transformed to other format
