Yes it is possible, this is a customization option. Position your cursor inside an <imagedata> inside your <mediaobject>, for example, and select: Tools -> Customizations Select the 'Treat As' tab, and select the Image radio button. Set 'Source:' to 'fileref' if that is what you use to address your graphics. Then the graphic should show in XMetal.
