this is not possible and, in my opinion, not desired.

The following explains my reasons but requires some LaTeX knowledge to
be understood.

LaTeX does a really good job a placing figures at nice locations. For
example, if your paragraph ends with 2 lines at the top of a page and
you place a figure after this paragraph, LaTeX will make sure the figure
appears at the top of a page and not after the 2 lines: this is because
it would be ugly to have 2 lines, then a figure, then the rest of the
text.

In LaTeX, you have to make sure to always write things like "as can be
seen in Figure 3" instead of "as can be seen in the figure below"
because you can never be sure of the exact location of your figures.

Please note that if in Pillar you don't specify any label you could
reference from your text, then the figure will be placed by LaTeX at the
exact location where you put it in Pillar. This is because, in this
case, there is no way to write "as can be seen in Figure 3" when there
is no label.
