This can be handled as, e.g. 'PASTED78434.png' in the document
directory in the same way as others.

Mostly because I want an interface to add and extract arbitrary files
such as layout, .bst, even source code to produce the figures. Also,
there are cases when you do not want to embed all files. For example,
when you only want a compressed .lyx file (assuming compression
feature is removed).
