From an end-user's perspective, is there a way to select a pre-existing image (i.e. profile picture) from the knowledge center and use it for a record?

In other words --> Go to a Record View, "somehow" select a photo I would like from a folder of images that is stored in that application's knowledge center, and use that as a new picture?

I know I could, as a developer, just download the image and upload it to replace what currently exists but I wanted to check & see if there's an out-of-the-box functionality or even a plug-in for what I have described.

If my wording is difficult to understand and/or you need images as a visualization for what I'm trying, please let me know.

for an entity-backed record it seems to me like once you get the file ID of the image by some means (like via a paging grid you create listing files stored wherever), you could write that document ID to a DB column for a particular record instance and then reference that column in your listview. Or if you're thinking about allowing them to set the icon used in ALL record instances, maybe just store a docId in a constant, and update the docId with the user-selected value using the update constant smart service...
