Subject: [PATCH] [BUGFIX] Scope image editing to file references

Use the file reference metadata as the source for Visual Editor edit links.

Plain FAL file objects do not represent a specific editable image placement.
Their edit URL only shows image information, while file references point to the
owning record field that editors can actually change.
