Well, it's not going to be that easy... For video items it's no issue as I can use the json api to write the additional artwork to the kodi db.
For music items it's going to be complicated because the json api doesn't have support to write artwork to the kodi db. We will have to request that to the Kodi devs as I'm not capable of submitting a PR to add this to the Kodi code (maybe someone with C++ experience reading this and likes to jump in?)

Those of us few that use Kodi for Music have added all these images to the folders etc. etc. and use the hacks to get to them, but if possibly could you check for local and use that and then for fallback use the internet which I believe is what you do now? and of course like Bob said possibly make them as .ART() properties as well?
The logic is already like that. The script prefers local artwork found in the media folders. It expects a traditional folder structure:
PHP Code:
----your music folder
------ ARTIST
----------------- fanart.jpg
----------------- logo.png
------------------ banner.jpg
------------------ extafanart
------------------ ALBUM
------------------------------ disc.png
etc.
Maybe some users have their artwork scraped into a different folder? In that case I can add an additional setting to look for the artwork in that custom folder.
