Screenshot imported into a DOORS module

I have a user that has a large module into which they wish to insert a number of screenshots.

These screenshots are held on a local server and may periodically be updated.

What they would like to do is be able to run a script on their module which grabs the latest screenshot from the server and inserts it (as an OLE I presume) into the appropriate object in DOORS (replacing any existing screenshot that may be present against that object).

Their motivation for donig this now is a Windows Upgrade that will result in changes to every screen.

Does anyone have experience of doing this that could argue the pros and cons of this approach, or how complicated any DXL is likely to be?

My gut feeling is that it is asking for trouble, although the module content is unlikely to change much apart from updating these screenshots.
