Insert Image in <apex:inputTextarea> field

Is there a way to insert an image from Documents into an <apex:inputTextarea> field?

When you go into your Documents tab, and go to the folder containing the image, there's a link to "view". You can enter this URL when the textArea asks you for the image location. Yes, the URL is dynamic, but that's fine--so long as whoever's viewing the record has permission to view that document (if they don't, they'll get a broken image, I think).

 

You don't want to use the link directly under the image name--that takes you to a summary page for the image's document.

As to my knowledge, standard input fields do not allow for any images inside of them, do you mean you would like to upload an image? or do you mean that you just want the link for an image that is already uploaded to display? If you want an actual image to be shown inside a textarea, you are going to need to have that be a rich text area.

Yes, I realize that ... I already have the control's property set to "richtext="true".  But even having done so, how, exactly, can you reference an image in Documents, and then use the control with

 

<apex:outputText value="{!richTextFieldwithImage}" escape="false"></apex:outputText>

 

Or can you?  I've tried every way I can think of.
