*bump*

I think this would be an awesome feature. Some of us use highly-graphic OSes
such as OSX and Windows (or maybe Linux with Gnome), and being able to
interact with the desktop is a great feature. Imagine being able to drag and
drop a file directly to emacs and delegate the attachment to org, besides,
optionally, an icon could be shown (not really needed).

Copying and pasting an image would also be nice. Right now, I can't do this.
I can drag and drop files but emacs will just insert the contents of the
file inline. There must be a way to tell emacs to run a custom piece of
elisp code with the basic event information gathered from the paste/drag and
drop... or there isn't?

Cheers,

- Marcelo.
