Emacs support?

[jagot]

It would be very nice to have. Maybe it could be accomplished using
https://github.com/riscy/shx-for-emacs

What do you think?

Happy to take a PR to that extent, but since I don't use emacs myself, I'm unlikely to get to it myself. The two things you'd have to figure out:

1. How to identify that the emacs terminal has this support enabled?
2. How to give it base 64 data.
   With those two in hand, it'd be a very straightforward patch.

Point 2 is easy enough; something like this ought to do it:

(insert-image (create-image (base64-decode-string "....") nil t))

What needs to be added is a tag for shx to recognize that base64 data is available.

Point 1 I am more unsure about.
