Image input for Image node

Currently, the image texture node only supports external images. But what if it could also accept inputs like procedural noise or a mix of multiple images?

This would not only allow for a more universal control of a procedural network.

but possibly a gateway for parallax occlusion, Since its only issue is that it only supports image textures.

This idea was marked as a duplicate of Exposed Texture Input for Image Texture Node.

Something we are looking into for parallax occlusion, not sure about the actual solution.

The image input would be a literal solution because you could use the technique shown in this video: youtube.com/watch with just one input. If you're referring to the solution for the image input, you could adjust the UVs of all relevant parts by the same amount when transforming the image input's UVs.
