All modern browsers support the href="data:..." URL scheme [1], as described in RFC 2397 [2]. This scheme allows the linked data to be placed inline in the HTML code.

I mark this enhancement request as 'NEW' because I can't find any duplicate so far. I'm afraid I can't either provide any code pointers.
