You can find all added inline images in the document together with images using the option "Show directories" in the left toolbar.

Inline images will be underwritten as "Inline image", so that it is easier for users to search for images and inline images separately. If you have inserted caption for the inline image, you can search this image in directory for its caption.

After clicking the inline image in directory, the whole component with this inline image will be highlighted with a blue border.
