You omitted that you also have to save an image file to .\images and copy the name.
It's a lot of steps, especially compared with other products like Evernote. Dragging and dropping the images, would be the most straight-forward approach, and, if I understand correctly, should be feasible with the changes coming in 5.1.20. You could even use a TW on node to collect the data, and then use Bob or the tools in TW to extract and externalize the data when you have more time. But of course, you would have to be running node/Bob at least once in awhile. The problem with external files is that it becomes messy the minute you want to organize anything. For instance, if you want to move all of 2019's files to images/2019, you'll have to find some way to find the corresponding tiddlers and then rename the _canonical_uri contents. Another problem with the _canonical_uri approach is that the path can not be easily redirected. So, for instance, you might want \images on your desktop machine, but a path that leads to a google drive folder on a mobile device. The workaround is to present all your external images through a macro, where the base path can be changed as needed. But wouldn't it be great if a base-path were already built in?
