Well, I guess the current use case is fairly simple. Suppose we use a marker in 
the text: Header/Footer $1. This marker has as content the name of the image, 
let's say Pict0001. The Running H/F will display the text (Pict0001). So what 
we need is an extend script that replaces the H/F text with the actual image: 
Pict0001.jpg.

As I'm still not able to write scripts - too busy with other things I guess - 
can someone advise me on such a script, would it be very difficult? In the 
workflow it should be automatically triggered once the XML is opened in FM 
(10), so that the use experiences it as 'real' H/F. We'll need a manual 
'reload' action of course in case of repagination and content change. For ease 
of use we can put the complete path of the image in the marker of course, or 
use a relative path.
