When pasting images from clipboard, there seems to have two behaviors:
In most cases when I copy and paste an image from other websites, I mean to copy it and let me host it on my own server then insert it to my post. But the problem is, the default behavior of how Gutenberg inserts images from pasting from other websites is hotlinking. Hotlinked images are easily got renamed, removed, or blocked from hotlinking due to any unpredictable reason.
To make this issue clearly, I recorded a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmmvQoLLJEo
Describe the solution you'd like
Import/upload external images by default when pasting from other websites. This is also how GitHub and Notion handle images from the clipboard.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Add an option to toggle the behavior of inserting images from the clipboard.
