The first one is already possible in the next version branch (https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/pull/678) soon to be merged.

The 3rd one should be pretty straightforward after implementing the 1st one. I like the 2nd option as a well - we'll need some form of doc/docx to Markdown library. Maybe we can find a doc/docx to HTML and then use the plenty of HTML to Markdown libraries.

Pandoc is a good converter of doc/docx to HTML. It works well. Check for pandoc library or way to integrate to notes.

when will #678 be merged? in a month or two ?

I'll look it up.

Should be around 2 weeks or so. I've converted your issue to a task list so it's easier to keep up with what's left.
