You could use dictionary items for this. In the dictionary item you just use an <img> tag instead of text. But that won't be viable if the images need to change pretty often. Maybe a custom datasource would do the trick, but I'm not familiar enough with Contour to be sure about that.

The dictionary item method doesnt sound simple enough for my users.

However I am looking into creating a custom field type.
I have gotten so far as to get a TinyMCE editor up through a RenderPreviewWithPrevalues override.

Not really got any ideas on how to save the things entered here...

If anyone have any suggestions I'm all ears :)

Ok, so I have now hacked around this problem.

It's not elegant but my temporary solution looks like this:

I create a Content Node which has a Rich Text Field that contains my images and/or text;
I enter the node id for that node as the first prevalue on my a field with my custom FieldType.

Then I do something like this in the Editor property of my special fieldtype:

PreValue prevalue = AssociatedField.PreValueSource.Type.GetPreValues(AssociatedField)[0];
item = new Item();
item.Field = "body";
item.NodeId = prevalue.Value;
return item;

This returns an Item which show the stuff from my Content Node.

I also override the Values property and return an empty list.

I hope I'll figure out a way to do this more elegantly. But deadline today so It'll have to do for now :)
