Problem
As of right now, the process of adding an image block (and soon additional types of media) is a bit cumbersome. I'd like to make improvements to the media selection part of the flow, but for now at very least we can simplify by skipping the placeholder step or combining it with the location options sheet.
Note: I'm not sure if any additional design is needed, but if so I can pull together a blueprint.

.Note on Future Improvements
I'd like to replace the location-choosing sheet with an improved media selection sheet, similar to Aztec – but for now, let's at least make this improvement as it will benefit some of the next blocks we're building (Video, for example).
