Can you popup a dialog that askes whether they want to add a new image or
replace the current one?

Or, perhaps you can have them hold down CTRL plus drag and drop to indicate
they are adding a new image to avoid the popup?

Obviously if there isn't an image to replace then it will just add the new
image and not prompt.
