 Currently you can return a list of images attached to a post. This does
 not help if you want a plugin for example to be able to list just the
 images currently being used on a post. if you use the get_posts with type
 = attachment and post_parent = post->ID you get back a list of every image
 ever attached to that post whether or not they are on the post anymore.
 further if you reuse the image on a second post, and then run the same
 query on this new post, the image will not be returned at all because it
 is attached to the original post it was uploaded in. I am working with a
 plugin that adds an image notes feature to the post editor and it tries to
 list all images in a post on the editor but ends up listing irrelevant
 images or missing images that are attached to other posts. the plugin is
 knspr-imgnote if that helps. If I am wrong about this PLEASE I beg you let
 me know as it will help me a great deal.
