i guess that you already know that you can manually disembed your
images by right clicking on them...

otherwise, -- if you are proficient in python and can read some c++
-- it's not that hard to add a new command to the python API...

this is an example of somehow has recently added a new command:

hope that helps
a.l.e

p.s.: i suppose that you have checked and you did not find a command to
disembed in the scripter API...
