Is there a way to crop an image using the size handles of an object rather than using the image inspector?

Like in InDesign, Word and Visio, you can alter the shape and the image inside will remain positioned the same on the page, so resizing just changes the masking.

(Otherwise I have to constantly go back and forth between the image inspector and adjusting by with the preview and % field isn't precise enough).
