Say you use a profile with "real" stomps - it would be pretty neat to take a picture with your phone or whatever. you put it on your computer and now have the option to attach it to the specified rig in the rig manager.
Attach pictures to your rigs in the RM

Nice idea, unless it means we would fall foul of copyright/trademark issues.

To expand on your idea, it would be great to have an "Info URL" slot. This way, you don't have to limit it to pictures, and the rig file isn't being expanded in size by orders of magnitude. A Kemper rig file is about 4k, whereas a photo can be megabytes in size.
If Rig Manager had a Dropbox/Box.net/Google Drive connection where, when editing a rig, you could drag and drop a photo, text document, or a PDF, and it would be uploaded to your cloud storage solution of your choice that you've connected to. Once the upload is complete, a link would automatically be added to the rig and saved. It would be a really nice addition, and only taking up, at most, 250 characters of space for a URL, probably less. You would need to be able to remove or replace an already uploaded file as well.
Kemper would also need to limit this to a few file types - PDF, PNG, JPG, GIF, TXT, DOCX, XLSX, and maybe a couple others - primarily for security reasons. Uploading to popular cloud providers would ensure a degree of safety as well - uploading files to these platforms typically includes a quick spyware/virus/known bad file check when uploading, but that would have to be verified.
If it's an image (PNG, GIF, JPG), a small version could be displayed in the sidebar that, when clicked, opened the URL in the user's browser. If it's a document (XLSX, DOCX, PDF, TXT), a simple link would suffice. This could also be cached in the application cache, so, once a rig is added with this information, it only has to hit the URL once, verify it exists, and download the content locally into cache.
Additionally, this would probably circumvent copyright infringement, but that would need to be checked by someone that's got lawyer smarts, and not a software developer (like myself), because the images, documents, whatever, are being hosted externally. All the rig would provide is a URL to a resource on the web. It could be argued that an attached URL with a photo of a Marshall JCM-800 and a Klon Centaur has as much validity as someone uploading a GIF of a popular meme, but, again, not a lawyer here.
