How to obtain formula images in claim text?

In the claim text returned from OPS, chemical formulas are often referenced with img tags and a reference number.

Example EP.2236541.A1:

Code: Select all

<claim-text>1. A (optionally non-dendrim eric) polyester amide macromolecule represented by Formula 1. 
<img class="EMIRef" id="029338117-ib0021"/></claim-text>
How can we obtain the image associated with this? Thanks!

Dear user,

We are sorry you cannot have access to the saved reference images.
Unfortunately we do not know when this will be possible.

Kind regards,
OPS support

Dear OPS Support,

Are there any updates on this topic or are you aware of a timeline or a workaround?
It seems that for example google patents manages to fill in the reference images into the claims.

Thanks and best regards!
