Outlook v15.20 - signature now has image embedded not a link

This is a double post as I'm not sure that I posted in the OficeInsider area before.
This update seems to have screwed up my signature. Until now my signature had one image that was not embedded but a link. Now this behaviour seemed to have changed and the image is embedded in the message. Can we have the old behaviour restored?

Can you provide an ETA for the fix if possible please. I can live with this if the fix will make it in next month's insider update.
I suppose a feature request would be for an HTML editor in the signature box.
Regards,
Jeremy

And that's a shame, because now Mac Outlook behave more like its Windows counter part (embedding image if you paste it in the signature dialog, or at least that's how it used to be) but at least on Windows it is still a plain HTML file behind the scene so workaround is possible.
I know there might be tons of reasons for having Mac Outlook use a proprietary - and obscure - .olk15signature file format but at least with plain HTML files under the hood, the Signature Editor could be completely broken and we would still be able to get the desired results by working at the file level.
