[TextInput] Could we insert image into it?

[just4fun]

Hey RN team,

I'm developing an app and I need to insert custom image into TextInput.

In addition, I need to use delete button to remove the images and also move cursor around them like normal text.

I noticed that in normal OC development we could use NSAttributedString to achieve.

Is there any way in React Native? Or it's a missing feature for now?

Thanks in advance.

I know this is not a bug, so I removed the template, sorry.

However, I didn't get any answers on Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48033885/how-to-insert-custom-emoji-small-pictures-into-textinput-of-react-native) so I want to have a try here.

Insert custom Image into TextInput is a common case in iOS development, with using React Native, I want to know whether there is any way (or hacky way) to archive it.

I try to nest Image within TextInput, but the image is invisible with big cursor beside it, not sure whether it's a bug.

Anyway, I open a new issue with template, #17468.
