I'm not quite sure if this is what you're referring to, but the
dropbutton under the image is meant to be extensible. The podcast
plugin, for example, adds an option to the Habari silo it to insert a
podcast episode into the podcast post one is writing. Before, the
dropbutton showed a downarrow to the right. When one clicked it, the
dropbutton opened up and the link to insert the podcast episode
appeared in the list that opened. As things are now, the dropbutton
appears to be gone, and the link to add a podcast is always visible
next to the normal link to insert an image into a post.
