Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm creating a custom cell type that users can add to their layout. I'd like to include an image picker from the media library, similar to the one that exists for the "Image cell" included in Layouts.
I already created a new cell type that can take texts and URL, but since the image will be on the WP media library, I'd like to show them an image picker.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?
The Image cell included in Layouts.

What is the link to your site?

Hi, I don't have a simple script to offer that will help you set this up, but here's the existing code for an image cell: /wp-content/plugins/layouts/inc/cell_types/wpddl.cell_imagebox.php

This code may provide some insight into how the current image cell works, and then you can combine this functionality with the functionality of your existing URL and text inputs.
