Embed image in code with Visual Studio

I remember reading once that there was a way to embed an image into a code file (e.g. a screenshot or diagram) in Visual Studio, but now I can't find any reference to that feature.

Is this possible to do, or am I imagining things?

EDIT: I don't mean embed the image in the executable, for use at runtime. I mean link or embed it literally in the code, for use by developers.

There is also a plugin for VS2012 and VS2013. At this moment installing for VS2013 does not seem to work for me though.
