I'll try to confirm this.

But, did you try the second handler that convert
a file in a custom property of the stack?

Did exist a way to reference the customproperty
in the same way that you could set the filename
of an image? 

i.e. set the filename of img 1 to mycustomproperty01

The stack file will quickly become bloated if i have
to set the text of every image that i want to show
this customproperty.

Maybe, it'll be better to parse the clipboarddata
and import it into the stack if the data looks like
a path to a jpg, png or gif.
