It appears after some searching of the forum that having the href link to an <image> line does not show the image when an svg is loaded. Have tested this using an href to the image on a server ("https://...") or in a sub-folder in the same folder as the svg "./images/...". Seems that this is not too much of a Feature to request. Feedback? Attachments are: 1) SVG in Designer with http links, and 2) Same SVG opened in Chrome.
