Adding images without rich text editor

[bradystroud]

Hey Netlify CMS team,

I want to disable the rich text editor (to avoid the slashes bug #5673) but I cant see a way to upload images to the Markdown body without the rich text editor.

If i add a image field by adding this config:

- { name: image, label: Image, widget: image, required: false }

It will let me upload images and reference them in markdown, but then it adds the image as a field in the YML frontmatter.

I want to be able to upload images and reference them using the markdown editor, but not add a field to the YML frontmatter.

Figure: I want to access the image uploader without adding a image field

Is this possible?
