Is there a way for Enscape to actually embed these images within the model?
Not at the moment I'm afraid. In this case we're not saving these files in question with the model itself - definitely something which has been requested before of course, so I'm forwarding your upvote to that topic.
This is really a good Idea, having an asset manager would lessen these problems but to have an option to "archive" all used textures within the file would really be great. If you would edit an "archived" project these textures should be extracted to a user defined folder, so the user would be able to edit them in a 3rd party SW... when re-saving there should then be a pop up dialog asking the user to keep the archived mode (that would cause the modified textures to be packed to the project again and the folder would be deleted...) or to just save it normal which would mean the textures stay in the created folder and link to the file.
That would be an awesome feature for sharing projects between different people, also those working at the same office but using custom mapped server addresses like "X:/textures" which very often destroys all texture links... would be even mightier in connection with an asset manager to have better control / transparency over the used textures.

vray:
here is another screenshot from the 3d Studio asset tracker... to illustrate the different options for texture managing.
Just thinking aloud -- maybe if there was an asset xml file we could edit and reload, it would be a quick way to have control over file locations without needing a separate editor in Enscape.
I need it too

This would be extremely helpful for teams working with remote / cloud files.
I am regularly dealing with broken links with team members who are trying to present the project model I worked on.
