I just discovered this feature in Google Sheets this week, and it is awesome. Especially since LibreOffice does not do a good job of embedded image anchoring.

I really want this feature now.

Has been mentioned a few times in the forum I believe, with some somewhat-desperate workaround attempts mentioned. E.g.:

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/feature-request-insert-images-into-calc-cells/6822/12

Someone has made an add-on, but I believe this walks the entire sheet rather than being used only as needed.

In December 2022, MS Excel 365 added the IMAGE function, too.

The changelog describes the function as: "Insert in-cell images with the new IMAGE function: Your images can now be part of the worksheet, instead of floating on top. You can move and resize cells, sort and filter, and work with images within an Excel table."
