A community for the timeless and infinitely powerful editor. Want to see what Emacs is capable of?!
I guess you want to write a custom interprogram-paste-function which checks to see if the value is a valid filename and, if so, establishes it relative to default-directory in the current buffer.
(Sounds like freakish behaviour to me, but maybe that's just me.)
Thank you appreciate it
You can use yank-media to do whatever you want with non-text selections in your clipboard. You can find an example of a function that attaches files copied using a file manager to an org file in this patch: https://yhetil.org/orgmode/[email protected]/
HTH.
There's a thing called org-download that does a similar thing but I don't know how trustworthy it is.
The latest version of markdown-mode already support media handler for images and drag and drop images.

You need to to update to Emacs 29.1 or later version to use this new feature.
And the org-mode support will also coming soon.

Note that if you want to copy (image path or image contents) and paste, you need to use yank-media on the emacs side, otherwise it just pastes the latest copied text.
(But drag and drop will just do what you mean.)
