Rich Text with File Upload

Q&A
1

Is there a way to use the file upload widget to upload an image that can be used in the rich text area widget?

For example, I would like to upload the image using the file upload, retrieve the url for the uploaded file, then in the same page on the rich text area widget I want to click the add image button and use the url to add the uploaded image to the rich text.

Thanks for you help!

Technically it would be doable with few tricks here and there extending default capabilities with Custom Widget(s) and REST API Extension(s).

Bonita provides APIs to handle documents and BDM so you could potentially store/retrieve images from there. But for such use case I would use a CMS instead as concerns around access control and scale would arise going to production.
