Pages Drag and Drop Image Settings

Put a table in Pages (anywhere in iWork, I bet), select a cell, and drag an image to it straight out of Safari (or any browser, I bet). It copies as the image URL. Select the text field within that cell, drag the image, and it embeds correctly.

 

Why would anyone want the former behavior? Can that be disabled?

 

Ah, select a cell, drag an image to it from Finder, and it becomes the BACKGROUND for the cell. Select the text field within the cell, drag the image, and it embeds correctly. Why would this be the case? And why would it differ from the Safari way?

    It actually makes perfect sense to me, so I can't answer the question—other than to say that technically speaking, I suppose Pages needs the image to actually reside on the computer before it can embed it.
