These are great ideas, especially the recent posts.
I’ve only read the fourth of four pages, so sorry if this is a duplicate request, but intuitively, what I’d love to be able to do is just drag and drop a note from Evernote right into Scrivener Research and have all formatting preserved, whether image, text, both, etc.
Unfortunately Evernote drags a link to the original note out, not the note content itself.
Yes, indeed. Do you mean that it’s from the Evernote side of things, and that’s not something Scrivener could adjust for?
Unless there is a publicly documented method for extracting full note data from the Evernote database using nothing but the special URL that you get now, when dragging, then no there isn’t anything we can do. We have this same problem with Apple’s Mail program by the way, their drag and drop data consists of nothing but a URL back to the e-mail database, but there is no public method for actually importing the e-mail itself using that URL. Not to denigrate what they are doing—this is of course a very useful thing to have easy access to, and in Scrivener you can make use of this drag and drop action by dropping into hyperlink fields, or the References inspector pane, giving you quick double-click access to external resources. It would just be nice if programmers could take it a step further. 
Agreed! And thank you for the clarification. That makes a lot of sense.
I’ve found an acceptable workaround in the present, I think–making an Evernote public and then opening that url through the Web browser in Scrivener more or less gives me the same effect I’m looking for.
Well, it does if you’re willing to make your notes public.

I’m with you on that concern–but even if it’s “public,” wouldn’t someone still need a url to access it?
Sure. This approach is colloquially known as “security through obscurity.” Whether it’s good enough depends on what the data is and what the consequences of it leaking might be. Character sketch for your novel, probably not a big deal. Personalized medical data for your clinical trial, big problem. People use Scrivener for all kinds of things.
Also, if you’ve made the link public be sure to check to make sure that Evernote isn’t going to index and publicize it for you. They advertise sharing notes and notebooks as a feature, and they have no way of knowing why this link was public.

Thanks–good points that I hadn’t considered (well, except for considering that I wouldn’t make something like medical info public via Evernote). I didn’t realize they could share links to public notes at their discretion.
OK, this may be a dumb question, but why are you making the notes public? Why not simply login to Evernote in your browser? You only need to do this once a week if you select the “Stay signed in for a week” check box. Once you are logged in, you can access all of your Evernote notes and you can drag each note’s URL into Scrivener just like any other webpage. Since you are dragging and dropping via your browser anyway, this doesn’t seem to add any extra steps (apart from the weekly login).
