Public bug reported:

Currently (Mahara 1.6.0dev), you can attach an image to a journal entry
and then choose it within TinyMCE for display inthe entry itself. Though
a nice way of not having to know the URL of the image, it's still
cumbersome and you always see the "Attached file" at the bottom of a
journal entry.

Furthermore, this way doesn't work in text boxes and users always have
to find the URL of the image in their files area first before they can
work with it.

It would be better if we were able to list the images in a drop-down
menu in TinyMCE all the time for users to choose comfortably without
having to attach them to a journal entry first or to a text box (if we
used the smae behavior as for journal entries). If a drop-down is not a
possibility, maybe there is something else?

Thinking further, the infrastructure of the image picker code might then
also be used to select internal Mahara URLs instead again of copying
them manually. But that's another bug report (bug #1038579).
