The buttons and drop-down menus in POV-Ray don't open images.
The Insert Menu only inserts text into the current caret position of the text
editor.

If you define a subdirectory in the insert menu directory named "GODS", then you
could save scene files that render the images as image_maps as part of your
scene.

But that's about all I can think of.

Maybe if you post the Overview image in the binaries | images section, we could
give you better information.
