The hands (and many other pieces) are supplied by image importers (in the image below, the patches named "Hand R" and "Hand L" are images) -- those don't come from anywhere, the image data is embedded in the composition. You can do this yourself by creating a composition, and dragging images into the composition.
Ah, I've found them, thanks. So this appears to mean I cannot edit or extract the previously embedded images in order to modify them; I can only delete them and/or add new images.

Correct -- they're "read-only" for the most part.

(Details: .qtz's are binary plists -- you can use Property List Editor to inspect their structure, etc. Image Importers store their images as binary blobs of data, so if you're industrious you can extract the image, write it to a file, edit it, and then place the modified binary data in its place. That's a significant amount of effort, but not at all impractical in dire circumstances if necessary).
