Exactly, you could even store it in a file and just have a table that monitores access. Anyway, technically it is pretty standard fare.
On the other hand, I don't know at all how RW works internally, how graphic objects - or any other media/files - are stored right now. So I can't make a sound assumption of the amount of work needed to change this.
