Re-using already uploaded images/attachments within a ticket

[Serge Makarenko]

JIRA Server version had a possibility to re-use the same images/attachments many times within a ticket by a single upload and then mention in the text. Any image uploaded to the ticket could be re-used many times in the description, comments section, etc by a simple reference from the images dropdown.

JIRA Cloud it seems doesn't allow us to do the same with already uploaded images from the scope of the ticket. The images were uploaded to the ticket by different people, or attached within a comments section. But when the button is clicked, they aren't available to be inserted into the ticket description.

There are two questions connected to that:

1. How to re-use images from the attachments, without the need to duplicate the image during mentions?
2. Why images uploaded within the comments and visible within "Attachment" section are not choosable from "Files & images" dialog window?

I'm interested in a year-in-view for issues on a calendar using Jira date fields as well. My organization has a need for this view, and we need this pretty urgently (desparatley want to get us out of spreadsheets!)
