This is perhaps a bit of a hidden gem with Magento, because it can be
extremely useful when needed. Here’s a scenario: your client wants an
image on their product page which is detached from the main image

be used to enter a URL to the chosen image. This won’t help clients who
want to add new images though unless they have sufficient FTP
privelages – we all know that this can have similar consequences as
letting a bull loose in a china shop, then pricking its ass with a
needle.The solution is a media image attribute, this is how to set one up…
