This is the package you're looking for. Just drag and drop images into the org mode buffer and you're done. I've been using it for years to take lecture / book notes in org mode where I have to constantly take screenshots and embed them in my notes.

I tried org-download package and while it works with normal org files it doesn't work for org roam files (don't know how since both are just org files), is there a reason for such behavior.

You can absolutely include images in your org, that's standard. You may want to look into org-download to drag and drop images, screenshots etc.

org-download makes drag and drop work :)

This package that OP linked supports inserting images from clipboard and other sources: https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download

I like to insert images in my anki cards with org-download (https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download/). The behavior by default in doom-emacs is

For your screenshots simply use Flameshot: https://flameshot.org

First, conceptually this is what I mean: think about when using a good screen-capture/annotation tool like flameshot: you select a region of the screen, and "magic" you can "edit" it, "in situ". No, what I'm talking about wouldn't share any of the same technical underpinnings with the way flameshot works, it would be the live monitor output, not a raster dump of the screen made to look like it's live. And the annotating would be done on a different screen. But as a user, this is pretty similar.

Flameshot is a free and open-source screenshot tool for Linux that allows users to take screenshots of an area, a window or the full screen. It then provides an editor where users can modify the screenshots by drawing on them, adding text, highlighting areas, blurring parts and more. Users can save the screenshots in common image formats like PNG and JPEG, and upload them directly to image hosting sites like Imgur.

I would recommend Flameshot, available on Linux, Windows and Mac.

This https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1529 mat or may not be an issue for you with Flameshot, but it may be for others. It's solvable if it is an issue by using mandatory access control such as AppArmor or conditional build. Just FYI.

Flameshot viene con todo eso.
