In FrameMaker, you adjust zoom and drag the embedded object
to pan to the section of interest.  Then, lay callouts, etc.
onto the "frame".

You can, for example, embed a photo of an object *in* a frame,
scaled however you'd like.  Then, create another frame within
this frame overlapping the photo and embed the same file at a
different magnification/zoom level -- to illustrate a
"close up" of some portion of the image that appears "beneath"
(behind) it.  Then, days/minutes later, change the sizes/scales
of each of these frames to reflect changing ideas as to the
visual impact of the result.

Instead of having to flit back-and-forth between applications.
