This is entirely possible without major work -- e.g. the current "add
arrow" item tool is just a shortcut for drawing lines with an arrow
head automatically enabled. The end result is the same as if you'd
drawn a line then turned on the arrowhead.

We could easily do the same for north arrows, and have the action
insert a picture, link it to the largest map in the layout by default,
and default to a NICE north arrow picture.
