[Scribus] Graphic import from .odt file

It is simple enough to pull text from .odt files into a Scribus text frame, and
it works very well indeed.

It would be very useful to be able to import graphics from an .odt file as well.

The idea would be to have a .odt file that looks like this:

line-of-text
line-of-text
[graphic]
line-of-text

And able to import that .odt file into a text frame and have a graphic frame
magically created at the proper location on top of the text frame, with the
graphic inserted.

The objective here is to be able to put graphics in columns with classified ads,
like a "LOOK HERE" with big eyes on it or "GREAT DEAL" in a starburst, or
whatever.

Any ideas for how to do this without having to manually place the graphics
after importing the classified ad text?
