This is already possible. You can either upload custom images as stamps or textures.
If you want it to appear on the background, use a custom texture.
I suggest in general to use a custom stamp, as scaling and positioning is easier.

This would be great for all map types, but cities more for me personally as I have a few extremely large cities that are hard to create currently.

You can upload an image as a custom Stamp, place it in the scene, then change the opacity and lock it.
Once you are done, you can remove it and delete the custom stamp.

Philipp: that is not exactly the same thing, although it is how I’ve been doing for the meantime

Philipp: sure thing! First of all, a dedicated layer for the reference would make it easier not only do manage it (since using it as a stamp would make Inkarnate interpret it as a common object), but also it would make it simpler to onion skin over hand drawn maps adding stamps etc without overcomplicating things.
A dedicated reference layer would also make it easier to change its opacity, which can be crucial to get some details done but can be a shore depending on how many objects you are working while using the reference.
It would actually be even better if Inkarnate worked like Wonderdraft, being able to import maps and try to convert them into landmass, even if that would only be possible with two color contrast, e.g. white (or light color) for landmass and black (or dark color) for water. I know this one is a bit of a stretch, though.
