Hi @tecosaur Thank you for your efforts on this project!

I'd like to see if it is possible to convert a markdown buffer (not a file) to org. The use case is that sometimes I encountered some markdown content online, I'd like to copy the markdown to a emacs buffer, then convert it to orgmode without saving the markdown file first somewhere.

EDIT: realized that this may be more than just markdown mode. I changed the issue title to reflect that.
EDIT2: I think the potential solution is to save the current file to a temporary location with filename suffix determined by the current major mode, then run the import function, then delete the temporary file.

Hmmm, this seems like a good idea but would require reworking a fair bit.
A PR would be great, otherwise expect to wait a few weeks-months.

( NB: It's not that much work, I'm just rather busy )

A regular use case I have is to paste/yank some markdown from my clipboard into an org file, so this sounds useful. 👍

My thought have no changed, but unfortunately neither has the amount of time I have available 😛, there's a good chance of this happening by the end of the year without a PR though.
