Good idea. I'm not sure how easy this would be, but do consider
opening a feature request on the bug tracker.

One idea would be to use a commandline utility that allows copying
image files to the clipboard, and create a new converter from
PDF(cropped) towards this utility. But so far I couldn't find anything
for Linux, let alone cross-platform. Otherwise, I'm wondering if we
have an LFUN that would provide this functionality. But I'm not sure
how exactly that could work.
