I don't think this particular request has been made before, but the most similar thing I could find was this request for exporting images in the clipboard:

 

With the new textview in Alfred 5.5, there are a lot of cool workflows like Scratchpad or Note Taker that provide a complete note taking and management solution in Alfred. I really like the idea of using these workflows for very temporary, but immediately needed information. However, for me, that occasionally includes screenshots or other image data that I want to stash but be able to reference again quickly.

 

With that as background, I think it would be super nice if Alfred supported pasting raw image data from the clipboard into markdown files that are being edited in the textview. I'm assuming that would mean that Alfred would have to save the raw image data to disk somewhere, reference it in the markdown, and also clean up unused images and/or provide an intuitive way for users to understand where and why these image files exist and what to do if they want to delete them themselves.

 

Besides my particular use case, I think that this would generally be a good and intuitive addition to Alfred's markdown editing capabilities considering most markdown editing apps like MarkText, Typora, FSNotes, etc. seem to do this type of thing for the user automatically. Some of those apps even offer a way to rename and move the image files!
