I am a beta tester and there are many sources I found via the hints
which include a link to an image which can be viewed (and downloaded if
you choose). It is not a "one click" solution where the image is
automatically added to your file along with the source but except for
some FamilySearch images which are not downloadable due to restrictions
placed on the images by the provider I was able to download and attach
source images obtained via the Hints at Find My Past, MyHeritage and
FamilySearch.
Images I found via this method included: Census pages from England and
Wales, Canada and the United States, Images for birth Death and marriage
registrations from various jurisdictions, Parish record images with
baptism, marriage and death details.
Not all hints included images because some are based only on indexes
which have no image.

The current hinting I see as a start... and a good start at a competitive
hinting system to ancestry. Hinting has been to this point one of ancestry
'72 biggest advantages, and I like the ability to use multiple hinting
sources... that said another advantage to ancestry has been attached images
of the actual cited documents so you can download your own copy. That
ability is also needed. As it has been use family search to search or
expand tree without charge, you still seam to need Ancestry to document
beyond a citation... actual image of a primary source document... so true
competition will need to include those features at some point in the
national databases. That is to say while the program as I see it is far and
away the best, the free databases have some catching up to do. The ability
to see and save a source document as part of a hint is primary as opposed
to what may be a guess as to date from someone else's undocumented guess on
their tree... goes to what is the quality and source of the information in
a hint.
