Image Clipboarding
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is more of a feature than a bug but it is a great QoL improvement to have on a keyboard especially when we get accustomed to using that on Gboard. Text expansion apps such as Texpand app on Play Store lets you expand text and also paste images from clipboard as we do with text by using simple keywords. The text expansion works smoothly with Heliboard but the image part is missing.
Describe the solution you'd like
The clipboard should have image or file capability up to a tolerable file size and when we paste them via a text expansion or clipboard app, we should be able to paste it from our keyboard.
Use case
For example, when I type "idcard" in a text box (as in WhatssApp chat), it pops up the entries related with this keyword (already defined in the Texpand) and when I make selection from the list, it pastes my id card image to my clipboard (as a thumbnail on top of the keyboard which resembles the image) and when I click on it, it gets pasted into the WhatsApp chat. This is a great way to index many images with keywords without browsing them in gallery.
Describe alternatives you've considered (if any)
I have no idea on how Heliboard can implement an alternative method but I believe the limitation here is the clipboard limits of the apps we use them on (WhatsApp, Messages, Teams etc.). Maybe we should have a "file path clipboarding" option so when we have a copy of the file path on our mobile, this path should lead to the file or image to be copied into the clipboard without having a clipboard app. This additional feature should easily surpass the Gboard capability.
