I think it should not be in the Description: field, but a new control field.
There's no need to stuff this in the Description: field if a new control
field can be added, and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't do that,
like it was done with Origin and Bugs recently.
The screenshot thing is often not handy, so I wouldn't waste much time about
that...
