Is it possible to have screenshots in any other section rather than the screenshots section?

At WordPress.org plugin, is it possible to have screenshots in any other section rather than the screenshots section? For example. Can I create a section called “Manual” and then have some screenshots there?

In the readme.txt file, the “Screenshots” section is a special section. The WordPress plugin repository checks your Assets folder (or the folder containing readme.txt) for images named in a certain way and corresponds them to the entries in this section. I don’t believe it is possible to attach images in the same way in any other section.

Markdown does provide a syntax for including images:

![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)

However, I tried to make this work in the WordPress readme.txt validator, and I couldn’t. It looks like the plugin repo strips these out, but I haven’t actually tried it in a plugin’s readme.txt and committed it to see what would happen.
