Description

As a feature suggestion, I would love if this could allow you to plug in an LLM (such as GPT-4o) where images that are included in the content could be sent to the LLM for further understanding. For example, if it was say a bar chart or graph, it would be sent to convert that to a Markdown table and be integrated in the final Markdown output.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the tool currently handles images in documents (e.g., extracting image objects) and identify where to insert a call to an LLM API to process the image and convert it into a Markdown table.
