Especially the volumetric file formats contain a lot of additional 
information.

They should be.

With the more generic data providers being discussed I don't think it 
will be possible to define an absolute name. Originally I didn't want to 
have a name in the Image as not all Images come from files. In practice 
99% of Images do come from files, so I'm fine with having the name that 
is used to load the image inside the Image and other info as 
attachments. To get around the DynamicAttachments we might just use a 
generic StringAttachment and use a bunch of them.

Comments?
