I'm pretty sure I saw a way of adding graphic images to an addon, but the graphics format isn't something standard like Jpeg or Gif files. You would have to change the screenshots into the API graphics format first, and by the time you figure out how to do that, it would have been easier to just alt-tab to your screenshots folder.
Even if it COULD work on normal files, you would have to do a reloadUI every time the data changed. Again, not really worth the effort.

To make such a thing work would require three things. First, you'd need a third-party exe running in the background that is constantly scanning for new screenshots. The exe would then convert them down into blps and move them inside of your addon's directory so they're reachable. Second, you'd need to dynamically edit the addon to load all of these screenshots when the addon loads. Thirdly, you'd only see the new screenshots after a complete exit and restart of wow.
In short, is it doable? Yes, it is. Is it practical? Not at all.
