It depends on how the link to the image looks like. Providing a file
link with NO description will embed the image. This behaviour is in
harmony with what the html exporter does.

*** Inlined Images
**** A simple inlined image

    [[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]

**** A simple image with caption and label

#+CAPTION: Unicorn Logo
#+LABEL: fig:1024
  [[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]

**** An image that is explicitly sized
#+CAPTION: Unicorn Logo
#+LABEL: fig:1025
#+ATTR_ODT: (:width 10 :height 10)
  [[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]

**** An image that is scaled
#+ATTR_ODT: (:scale 0.5)
  [[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]

Currently there is a clunky interface but it is quite handy for creating
a quick draft presentation based on Org outline. See the attached org,
odp and pdf file for what is possible. Note that the presentation itself
was created using org-lparse-* commands.

Not sure. Let me revisit this question after some homework..

Does your plotter - R, gnuplot or whatever - support SVG. I see that
LibreOffice-3.4 (which I have locally installed) supports embedding of
SVG images. These SVG images are actually embedded as SVM files in the
exported ODT file. Using BasicODConverter (which uses UNO APIs) SVG->SVM
creation is a no-brainer. But my little experimentation suggests that
the SVG images might have to be cropped. But in the long run, working
with SVG files will probably be a winner.

For now, you may want to export Tikz->Pdf->High Resolution PNG using
Image Magick. Hint: Search this list.

Currently I am making improvements to the odt exporter purely based on
user needs and feedback. I will diligently consider all feedback or
feature requests.
