Idea: Save/Open drawings embedded in image files (e g mydiagram.excalidraw.png )

Similar to what draw.io / diagrams.net does - make it so that excalidraw can save and open files locally as embedded image files, i e: The excalidraw drawing is embedded into e g the .png or .svg file. And conversely, excalidraw can open these files.

It makes for several benefits:

  • Adding drawings / images to a git repo, and referring to them in .md files, without having to bother with a separate source file for the drawing.
  • Thumbnails. Most file UI navigating environments will show you a thumbnail of the png.
  • A really simple way to store drawings, and ensure that the drawing source is not separated from the image. etc

Would you have a suggestion for a better name so it is more obvious?
