Description
How cool would it be to associate an image, or any kind of attachment to a term/taxonomy? I could think of many uses for it, and even more people who would benefit from it. The good news is that it would be *pretty* simple to implement.
Right now, attachments use a status of "inherit", a post_type of "attachment" and "parent" for the post/page that it is attached to.
My proposal to add functionality to attach to a "term/taxonomy":
Use the same "inherit" status but create a new post_type of "taxonomy-attachment" and then obviously use the "post_parent" for the term_taxonomy_id.

That could get real complex. Because, while your at it, you might as well allow an image to be attached to more than one post/page as well...

It wouldn't add complexity, since that's what the taxonomy system was designed for: creating many-to-many relationships between terms and posts (of any type).

Not really. As stated above, the taxonomy is for relating terms to posts, not posts to other posts.
A better way to do it would be to add taxonomies to attachments. That way you could have an image "attached" to more than one term/taxonomy.
That was attempted in one of the projects of GSOC 2009:
