Paste images using coordinates

[rinaldop]

I would like to be able to paste images using coordinates. I know about Paste in place but I want to take a new image and then paste in an image at an exact x,y place. I did some research and found this. Back in 2015 someone on a website called superuser.com said

"I'm afraid that Gimp doesn't include it because it is tedious."

Is this true? I think that I can do it with adding a new layer and using canvas but is there an easier way?

Thanks
