(defun my-org-insert-clipboard ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((image-file "clipboard.png")
 (exit-status
  (call-process "convert" nil nil nil
"clipboard:" image-file)))
    (org-insert-link nil (concat "file:" image-file) "")
    (org-display-inline-images)))

That works for me (Emacs 24.3, Windows 7) though for practical use some
more edge case handling ("don't insert on failure", "different name if file
exists") will be wanted.

kind regards, Klaus
