I just put an images directory below every document directory, and put (or copy) all necessary images into it. So what if I have ten copies of my divide and conquer graphic? Also, if you link to other graphics, there may come a time when you'll want a newer version for one doc but not for another, and if you forget, you just changed your other doc. By packaging the whole thing under one directory, you eliminate that problem. So I guess I do what you said, but do it manually.
