I think this will indeed be the best. We can reuse this everywhere we insert the link in yank-media+DND code (which IIRC uses the same function at the very end). >>> 2. do a variable that allow a list that would filter and reduce the type >>> candidates of yank-media.

I am leaning towards doing it in the Emacs side since it would get rid of similar annoyance(s) in other yank-media handlers, not just Org. If no one beats me to it before the end of this week, I will propose a patch to take care of (1). It would be preferable pinmacs if can take care of (2) if we decide to take care of it from the Emacs side since I will probably not be able to describe the situation well.
