When pasting <img>, any workaround to upload rather than src linking?

Currently, when pasting html content, <img> reference source link, and outline will add a globe icon on mouse over

<img width="321" height="258" alt="image" src=" />


I'm searching for a workaround to keep the image locally with upload (No globe icon), rather then depending on source image and end up with below
<img width="842" height="101" alt="image" src=" />


It's trivial and tedious to "copy image" then paste maunlly one by one.

My setup uses local file storage, but this shouldn't be related regardless of S3 or Minio

In theory it is possible to use API to Retrieve doc, processes each <img> and call upload attachement, then call update doc .

Is there a simpler method?
