One way would be to store the images as custom properties in a 
metacard stack (one or more images per stack).  This would stop them 
being viewed by a browser or other application. (But the image data 
could be retrieved by anyone with Metacard.)

Then download the "image stack", open it invisibly, put the custom 
property that holds the image into the image object in your Metacard 
application.
