I tried getting into org-mode and leave OneNote. Had to give up at the end of the day due to the lack of image / rich content support. I find it incredibly useful to be able to paste rich content into OneNote and then write work tasks around it. Is there any such option for emacs?

I had the same frustration with org when I started, which has since disappeared and I keep working with saving the screenshots and linking them to my docs. :|

Anyhow, some time ago I came across a blog post where the author wrote some elisp just to copy the stuff from clipboard, save it, link it to the buffer. I don't have the link handy, but maybe this SO answer might help you:

I'm no org-mode expert but I can drag and drop images into my org files with the default spacemacs configuration. I believe this is powered by org-download.
