You can not...
Products are not in the acquisition path.

If your product is a Python product, then you can make the
images (or other object) available as attributes of your
class. Most Python products will show you how to do that
(usually for editing forms).

If your product is ZClass based, you can make your
images available a methods of the ZClass.

Alternatively, you may try either restricted traverse
or "manage_addProduct['yourProduct'].yourImageId"
(not sure whether these approaches work).
