Perhaps you are wanting to first create an InDesign document and then Place the JPEG into that document?

You need to use File>Place - indesign cannot open image files - it only links to the files.
I wrote an article here which covers a lot of questions you might have

Exactly that. Even if you find that you can drag&drop files for being embedded - don't do this!

InDesign isn't raster graphics redactor. This is creator of books and magazines. You can't "open" image classicaly as in Photoshop, you can place and when you need to redact you can open from InDesign this image in Photoshop.
