Thanks for the information. Do you mean context-menu-mode? I'll keep an
eye on it. When you say terminal support, do you mean terminal emulators
or TTY? Because I often use Emacs on the linux framebuffer with fbterm,
and popup.el works fine on the tty. Also, I don't usually use the mouse
much (actually I only use it in Gimp and the like) and the combination
of popup.el with hyperbole is more comfortable and keyboard-centric for
me.

Sure! But they are very simple functions, which I don't use much.
Although they work fine for what I want:

The first requires the imgur.el package; the second one needs gnus-dired-mode:

(defun my-org-link-to-ingur ()
    (interactive)
    (let* ((path (org-element-property :path (org-element-context))))
      (imgur-upload-image (expand-file-name path) nil t)))

  (defun my-org-link-to-mail-attachment ()
    (interactive)
    (let* ((path (org-element-property :path (org-element-context))))
      (gnus-dired-attach (list (expand-file-name path)))))
