Here are examples of such effect:

Not with inbuilt standard options. This will most likely be a quite messy affair (e.g. using textures). — Yves Klett, Sep 08 '14 at 07:00

What I do is upload an image using the answer box, then copy the URL and paste it into my comment without posting the answer. Of course then people still need to click the link to see the image. – Aug 25 '16 at 03:31
