Currently only affine transformantion on image layer is available. See  [http://ojwiki.soldin.de/index.php?title=Warp#Applying_an_affine_transformation_to_an_image_layer Applying an affine transformation to an image layer]
There are several external tools that you cne use to georeference your files.
 
This is a list of software:
