Beginners' Questions Embed linked image as SVG

    I have a diagram initially created using Graphviz, where nodes are filled with an external SVG image. In the SVG output, this results in an <image> tag with xlink:href set to the image file.

    Now, if I edit it in Inkscape, images show rasterized. If, in the Object Attribute dialog, I click on Embed, it's a PNG object that is used as a content of the image element, instead of the SVG image being embedded.

    Is there any way to get the SVG image added to replace the image element so as to make it a fully editable object?

    If you manuallyย import the SVG files, there are selections.

    Yes, so I have to re-import each image one by one. I was hoping for an easier way...
