Paste image into property

Add images from the clipboard to frontmatter properties in live preview mode.

This functionality is currently missing in Obsidian as documented in this feature request.

Compatible with the paste imag rename plugin.

How to use

  • Create a text property in the frontmatter of a note and click into the text field.
  • Paste an image from the clipboard with your systems shortcut.
  • The image will be saved to the vault to the attachment path (dafault obsidan setting) and a link will be created.
  • (Optionally show the image from the property using dataview in a table or inline query.)
