What would be necessary to do this? Is there something fundamental missing?

I am interested in implementing this, but would need (a lot of) guidance

+1 this seems so a natural feature to have.

Will have a look at scrius in this case, but I really strugle with scribus...

I think this enhancement would be a powerful tool and an inducement for people
to use LibreOffice as their office suite of choice.

We are entering an age where barcodes, particularly DataMatrix and QRCode are
playing an increasing role in doing things like identification of the bearer of
a letter or the ability to use the barcode to gain entry into a venue or
collect an item.  In these situations there is often a need for the progenitor
of the activity to create multiple documents with different details, including
the graphics on each piece of written communication; be it a letter, card or
ticket.

Add me to the list of users who would REALLY like to have this feature
available. I'm currently doing this(in a very clunky way) with MS Word. Seems
like there is a larger opportunity to have various properties and content be
pulled from a field in a data source.

This feature is needed here also. Have to use Excel now for this, or learn to
use Scribus.

This feature is needed.

Currently the data source of mail merge can only be from Calc, which the cell
can't restore any image.

Furthermore, such feature is included in the national exam of document
processing in Taiwan.  Now LibreOffice is allowed to take the exam but this
feature is not able to work out.

I also need this feature. We have to create some archiv-cards for pictures,
letters with individual pictures and so on.

Now i'm using the product from redmond - which has implemented this feature to
add a picture from a link in a calc/excel-file from the local filesystem or
even remote...

But i want to transit full to libreoffice in our office... so this is a
killer-feature to get my boss involved... ;-)

--- Comment #3 from Nicolas ABEL  ---
To trace outgoing mails, we use QR Codes.
We generate them dynamicaly through our mail management software.

We would really need to be able to use the URL of the QRCode and have
LibreOffice mail merge replace the URLs by the pictures in the final mails.

More and more administrations are using mail management softwares.
The unability to use pictures with LibreOffice mail merge is a real trouble.

Due to lack of support for this feature I'm now using Scribus for generating
more complex documents, with its quite flexible plugin at
https://github.com/berteh/ScribusGenerator/
