What problem does this address?

Related to the discussion in #49094 to add query capabilities for terms (categories & tags) and term descriptions, to further enhance individual query loops for specific terms and archive templates, it would be nice to add support to categories and tags for featured image uploads.

It's a common use case, and it makes editing and managing archive templates more dynamic and easier to manage because you don't need multiple templates for each term; you will be able to manage the visual content from the category and tag admin tables.

I don't know if this enhancement requires a new block, a source selector in the featured image block, or if it will just work with the core featured image block.

What is your proposed solution?

I love this idea, in fact I've seen plugins doing it before, but would highly support it coming to Core. But is certainly something greater than just Gutenberg, right? We need the feature before even thinking about the blocks... 🤔

I think this is a great idea. Instead of having to make a separate archive.html template for each term just so you can have a distinct cover image, you could use this.

If we could eventually do Query Loops of taxonomy terms, this would come in handy (something that's done a lot on custom builds).

Plus the image could be used for the open graph image, etc.

My only question is whether this wouldn't be better suited as a trac ticket?

I'd be happy to add it there if that makes the most sense @bacoords .

It may already be in trac:
