Paste Images into the viewport

Like the title says, you copy an image outside of blender and then paste it into the viewport, a menu comes up that asks how the image should be brought into the viewport (refrence, Background, Mesh plane, Empty Image) and based on this selection brings the image as that.

and also the possibility to simply paste an image into the image editor (like we can in photoshop, paint, or any image soft). that would be very helpful.

This is already possible...

I mean, paste on the top of the image you are working on, not creating a new image file.

Oh yeah, sorry... In that case, a basic layer system would also be needed, so things can be less destructive...

Yes exactely, something very basic like in paint would be enough : you can move the pasted image around, but once you click away, it is applied to the main picture definitively.
