Is it possible to extract the file name of the image which was used to 
set the imageSource of a character in a field?

eg.

set the imagesource of char 1 of fld "browser" to ("binfile:" & 
gCurrentFolder&gCurrentImage)

Works fine. I get the image in the field.... but later  can we get the 
actual file reference out?  I would like to some how extract from char 
1 that it was

"/myhardDrive/photos/redFlower.jpg"

  which now appears in the place of character 1 in the field.

Possible? or has char 1 now become a simple pixel object embedded in 
the stack with no relation/record whatsoever of its source?
