Nice idea. Had felt this need sometime ago.
One thing though. Would mean that source control should also include some kind of parental control - regarding image content.
Or ratings like General, PG, etc.

How about an IDE that loads all the crap after it has opened and not before? That way if I want to check a file I don't have to wait three days and slaughter a small chicken just to check how something was done.

This still doesn't solve the problem of changing requirements, changing code, etc.
- How do you ensure that comments remain current when requirements have been added / deleted?
- ditto when code has been modified.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Go live in Utopia, there the specs are not changed afterwards  .
I'm a bit surprised that everyone is worried about bloating or about the maintainence of this. I wouldn't have thought about putting these attachments everywhere I go, rather use it where normal comments don't really cut it. But I admit, I do live in my own private small world were none can enter

85 million years ago, we had a simple submission check tool. The rules where that every file had a comment header with mod history and every public method had one too; this is all pre XML clever type doc/comments. If they were not there, or unchanged, the change could not be submitted.
Simple yet effective.

The tool you describe can ensure that a comment exists; it can't ensure that the comment is current. I suppose that a slightly more sophisticated tool could ensure that comments are modified along with functions, but that is not always necessary (e.g. fixing a bug would not necessarily change the description of a function).
Until this problem is solved, any fancy tools that e.g. link a function to the requirement that was responsible for it are worse than useless.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Exactly. Just tried and googled and none of them is working... unfortunately.

Heck, I want a 3 dimensional code editor. You have an if statement? The code branches orthogonally to the main code "vector". If-else? Same idea, but with two orthogonal branches. nested loops? Again, you can render that in 3D rather than a 2D "one inside the other" surface.
It would really be quite fascinating to see code represented three dimensionally and be able to fly around it, zoom in/out, etc.

5 seconds after you attach an image to a line of code, the requirements change, and the image/doc/whatever is now useless.
I worked on a project where we all had the spec printed out on our desk. It was 3" thick - and VERY outdated. We spent more time discussing what the spec really meant than coding it.
Any spec is outdated the moment it's saved. Now imagine that attached to ever changing code. Mass confusion ensues.
Terrible idea.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

My first thought is if you need a picture to explain what is going on, it might be time to refactor and simplify.

There is already an extension that does that (and a bit more...)
Look for MarkdownComments in the tools/Entensions and update menu.

Deoxyribonucleic acid!
Which movie?

/pedant : isn't an 's' missing here ?
/edit: Ah, betrayed by my French ("acide désoxyribonucléique") : no 's' in English ... Interesting, but seems logic when you think about it.
Anyway, "Jurassic park ?"
