Research direction
Investigate how the Cover block currently handles image insertion via media library. Look at the image block's implementation for URL insertion (e.g., packages/block library/src/image/index.js). Explore the Cover block's edit component to integrate similar functionality. Consider using the MediaPlaceholder component with allowed types. Check comments on the issue for any previous attempts or discussions.
