My idea is:  
At the moment, it is not efficient to use the media library in Mautic when using GrapeJS.

Our case:  
We have over 500 images added, and we often reuse those images, with grapeJS it is not possible to find or reuse these images efficiently.

Back when we were still using the old email builder, we had the possibility to add different maps to the library and sort the images.

Is there a way to add that media library to GrapeJS or a current solution to improve the current library.
