It's a very weird way to phrase that you want to be able to render Empty Image objects :o
I'd like the ability to convert an image-empty to a mesh plane of the same size with the same image applied as an emission material. I would not need "Import images as planes" 99.9% of the time if I had this feature.
That sounds cool too :o
Maybe possible as an addon too. Might link into that when I have time.
I don't see reason to block render Empty with images in case on Eve is rendered on view-port. Eg. when GP object can be some "cartons" cards to animate, etc.
No Eevee is not "rendered on viewport", and it is not the point anyway. IMHO we should be able to render this, it's too damn usefull and versatile to not use that for rendering.
Thinking about it... This object should be desolidarized from the Empties objects. Because... Well it isn't an "empty/dummy" anymore, isn't it?
Not sure about all.. but if we wont render we can turn off object in outliner, right?
