Hello, my fellow org-mode lovers,

This is a feature request — or failing that, a request for advice on a settings configuration which could produce this functionality now. 

I wish org-mode had the ability to attach images to notes, display them inline, and have that work well. By “work well” I mean a few specific things:

	•	the image is automatically resized to maintain aspect ratio and fit horizontally with a civilized margin, so that I can resize my emacs window without the image disappearing or swamping the other content. 
	•	you can still scroll the window one line height unit at a time, without the entire image being scrolled as if it were one giant line, breaking scrolling, as seems to happen on my emacs (version 28.x on Linux)
	•	drag and drop, so I can add the image by dragging it in, for instance from a screenshot tool or from an image on a web page.
	•	sensible defaults for storing the images bundled with notes and keeping the two associated, so that I don't subsequently live in fear of ever moving my org files

Why is this valuable, to me at least? I use org to take notes all day, during meetings, on reading matter, in the development of my own thoughts. Embedding images would let me collect every kind of resource I can't reproduce by typing or copy and pasting text — photos of slides during presentations, photos of whiteboard,  key snippets from websites, handwritten notes and equations, etc..

Alexis
