I don't see much disadvantage to "indirect scanning". With indirect scanning, there is a two step process:
1) Scan the image. (Most software automatically deposits the scan in a "scanned" folder
2) Open the source dialog, then to the Media tab. Then "Add Media" and navigate to the "scanned folder" and find the scan. Click ok.
The scan is not connected to your source.
