Display PICTURE in Layout DXL?

Can anyone advise on the layout DXL code required to display a picture embedded in the Object text attribute into a layout DXL column?
From my own checking of the help file, there doesn't appear to be any simple way to do this, but maybe there is some canvas-related functions that will allow me to achieve this?

The easiest method to read a picture I know is, to copy it to the clipboard using the right perm and read it back as rich text. Then you could just "displayRich" it there, e.g.:
 

if (pictureCopy o) {
   buf += stringOf richClip()
}

Unfortunately using the clipboard from a layout DXL would be fatal, therefore this is probably no help for you. If you would go for a GUI cached layout, this could work for you. Regards, Mathias
