I think you will just have to keep the image files together with the Dia file. If you develop the discipline of making a project folder; or, even more granular, individual Dia folders, there is no problem.
I am not unsympathetic, I would like to have images embedded, too. But it is an old complaint of may different programs. I do CAD with Solidworks and many part files congregate into an assembly. I just have to keep them together or it does not work. I will note that Solidworks has a Journal function that is an MS Word doc where I can place all manner of embedded information.
