I've made a short video how it works in WP when you buy a commercial product called Image Elevator. I was in luck to have beta test it and now i use it on my blog. Using it (like on Gmail) is just amazing - it makes writing a blog post really fast and natural as using MS Word.

If this could be achieved in Drupal it would be a killer feature for all content creators.
The nearest implementation I've found is filefield sources (with clipboard) + insert, but it is not as sleek as seen on video.

Hi,
This is a feature I would strongly discourage. Embedding images in body fields without proper semantic markup leads to websites that are harder to maintain in the future.
It also can make it harder for search engines to correctly index your content.
You would be better have a well define content model with repeatable content patterns using something like the Paragraphs module to achieve your aims. This will allow you to have semantic markup, expose it to RESTful services, and consume it in apps or other media - you may not have a need for this just yet, but in the future you may so it's good to think of this now.
Embedding images, videos, and all manner of things in the body field is not best practice. Here's a very good essay from a Drupalist about this:
