Can you set the annotation to show HTML then use an "img" tag to show
an image that's saved in your project folder?  e.g.

  <img src="photos/example.jpg" />

You may not be able to show TIFFs, but if you convert them to .png or
.jpg then it should work.

I haven't tried this with annotation layers but it works in map tips to
have an image appear when you hover over a feature.

A quick Google suggests annotation layers have the option to render HTML
so I would imagine it would work there too.

Cheers,
Adam.
