Possible, but does it change the workflow? I mean it just exposes tools >
options whatever to a checkbox. 

Despite that an indicator could be nice. And if it would be possible to undo
the compression it's pretty easy for the user to change the inserted image.
Unfortunately dev said it's not possible. Or rather it's weird to mix the
automatic processing with user input. @Tomaz, please elaborate on this.

We had a look how MS handles compression and do suggest a similar workflow
here.

"Pictures in Office are automatically compressed using the number specified in
the Image Size and Quality options on the Advanced tab of the program options.
By default, this is set for print (220 ppi), but you can change this."

Actually the Minimizer workflow is exactly what you get when the auto
compression option is switched off. With 

, or rather it makes no sense because mixing the automatic operation. And with
the Jérôme's confirmation box you won't miss the setting once it is introduced,
right?
