Hi @DelazJ, why the "embedded file encoded as a base64 string" part was removed? It is possible to use a base64 string as a raster image marker or an SVG marker.
See qgis/QGIS#8613.

Hi @agiudiceandrea Because of #4563 (comment)

Thanks.
I think they are two different things: this one is about the possibility to use a base64 string as a Raster image marker or as an SVG marker (this is a very useful feature that let the user use e.g. an image in a BLOB field with the Data Defined Override and an expression like 'base64:' || to_base64( "blob_field"); the other one, if I'm not wrong, is about (the technical details on) how a raster image file or an svg file is saved if embedded in an item.

I don't think the old text was actually addressing your point (at least, not from my understanding at that time) but well, I agree with getting it back, preferably with the expression sample (to clarify for end users). Would you mind opening a PR, please? Thanks.
Fix #3208, fix #3695
