That could be doable, but not straightforward as the latex2html or
tex4ht output is HTML, which is included in texi2any generated HTML.  I
do not know if it is possible to do images systematically.  Another
issue is that (maybe) there could be more that one image for a math or
displaymath.  If there was some software that do images and not HTML
based on latex/tex it could be easier.
