It's already possible, though a bit counter intuitive. When you are 
selecting a file to upload, add a colon separated namespace path to the 
front of the "Upload as (optional)" field. Note that new media specific 
namespaces can be created this way.

If you are editing the page "helpdesk:howto:email_configuration" and 
upload the image "example_01.jpg", the "Upload as" field can be changed 
from "example_01.jpg" to "email_conf:example_01.jpg" (a relative path). 
This will place the image in the namespace 
":helpdesk:howto:email_conf:" which only exists in the media namespace 
tree.
