Feature Request: @-Reference Tagging for Images

OpenAI Developer Community May 31, 2026

ChatGPT’s image editing workflow would benefit from a Higgsfield-style @ reference system that allows users to explicitly target attached images in prompts. Example: * @ref1 = face source * @ref2 = clothing source * @ref3 = environment source * @ref4 = lighting source This would eliminate ambiguity in multi-image editing tasks such as face swaps, character turnarounds, style sheets, vehicle redesigns, prop design, and continuity work. The current “reference 1/reference 2” approach becomes cumbersome when many images are attached. Explicit @ tagging would improve precision, consistency, and editing reliability.
