Local View with background images in2.8? I am following a tutorial (the tutor using 2.79) I am using 2.8

He can go to local view without losing the reference images. I can not do that. I am aware that if I select them I can actually bring them to local view too, but I find it a little bit tedious. 

Is it possible to make my background image/references always visible regardless if I jump in to local view or not?  

Thanks a lot.
As of today, there are no ways to do that.  

I posted a request on the Empty Images topic, asking the devs to add an option for that.
Hopefully, this will be done, in which case I'll update my answer accordingly.
