inserting images from other pages should be improved

[adrianmak]

Currently, user can select other pages with images attached, to insert on current page.

This feature is good without duplicating uploading same image for different pages.

However, you will come into a situation, for a large site, say a news publishing website, images are all around on different pages/content,

it is likely to be, images will be re-use.

With current PW, you will find that it is able to find the desired existing images from such of large site, you will come out, back to front-end and look for page by page to get an appropriate image for a new page. Or if posting a news in an urgent, users mostly just upload a new duplicated image.

The above is a scenario I described.

To solved this, there are two options

1. centralized all uploaded images

2. provided another UI for selecting images from other pages. A UI of display  all images from all posts (probably configurable), without to select which pages (current ui)
