I see, we are talking about some kind of gallery/preview library when you are able to tap/zoom any image and expand it or load another version (larger size) of the image.
You are right, behind the scene we are using React, however, the Image component just renders a general HTML Tag that doesn’t have out of the box such functionality you described above, because this feature is not needed for all images.
But, very soon we are going to introduce a new feature Custom Components, which allows to create your own component using JS/HTML/Css and integrate them into the UI-Builder environment
