You could do something like this.

# alias
set $feh exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-scale

# switch workspace
bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1 ; $feh ~/wp/1.jpg
bindsym $mod+2 workspace 2 ; $feh ~/wp/2.jpg
bindsym $mod+3 workspace 3 ; $feh ~/wp/3.jpg
bindsym $mod+4 workspace 4 ; $feh ~/wp/4.jpg
bindsym $mod+5 workspace 5 ; $feh ~/wp/5.jpg
bindsym $mod+6 workspace 6 ; $feh ~/wp/6.jpg
bindsym $mod+7 workspace 7 ; $feh ~/wp/7.jpg
bindsym $mod+8 workspace 8 ; $feh ~/wp/8.jpg
bindsym $mod+9 workspace 9 ; $feh ~/wp/9.jpg
bindsym $mod+0 workspace 10 ; $feh ~/wp/10.jpg

Nice idea, but it does not work when switching workspaces by other means: `workspace back_and_forth`, `workspace_auto_back_and_forth`, clicking in the i3-bar, `[some_criteria] focus`, etc.

For me, just having exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-max <path-to-image> in the config (not bound to any keyboard shortcut, must as a single line in the config) is working.
