Wiktionary -- Labelled images for a picture dictionary / visual dictionary

I think it would be very helpful if Wiktionary would allow labelled images so that it would evolve to be a picture dictionary or a visual dictionary.

Example: a picture of zoo animals: click the French interwiki link for the same image with all the words in French, likewise for German, Spanish, Japanese etc.

A visual dictionary is a dictionary that primarily uses pictures to illustrate the meaning of words. Visual dictionaries are often organized by themes, instead of being an alphabetical list of words. For each theme, an image is labeled with the correct word to identify each component of the item in question. Visual dictionaries can be monolingual or multilingual, providing the names of items in several languages.

A picture dictionary is a dictionary that uses photos or drawings to illustrate what the headwords mean. Picture dictionaries are useful in a variety of teaching environments, such as teaching a young child about their native language, and in foreign language instruction for children and adults. Picture dictionaries are often organized by topic instead of being an alphabetic list of words.

The key benefits are that:

• words are grouped together by theme/category; knowing one word helps discover others
• words are illustrated
• translation to other languages is made easy, even with very technical vocabulary (e.g. parts of a combustion engine).

Some examples: Merriam-Webster Visual Dictionary and Oxford Picture Dictionary

Wiktionary does allow pictures.

So how would you go about getting labelled pictures then? E.g. arrows or numbers indicating different parts of the image as in the Oxford/Merriam-Webster examples.

I suggest you create a proposal for this and we will have a discussion there.
