Hi Ian,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This is something that will require some amount of custom code to achieve.

You should be able to create a shortcode that employs the use of this function below.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_thumbnail_id/

You will pass the ID of the current post in order to retrieve the thumbnail ID.

Please let me know if you're aware of how to do this.

Thanks,
Shane

A simple way to return image IDs seems like it should be a core option.
