Sylae:
You can use File > Open Location to open image URLs.

Anyway, I guess it would be nice to have the feature you describe. The 
functionality for opening URLs is already there, so the only thing 
needed would be to detect if the text string in the clipboard is 
actually an url of an image, and then trigger the existing procedure for 
opening files from urls.

Sounds like something useful.
