Answer

If you got inspired and like an element on some web page and you would like to place it to your Artboard, the fastest way how to do this is to make screenshot of the page, crop the area you are interested in, copy the area into the clipboard and then paste it into the Artboard.

On Windows you can use Win + Shift + S, mark the area you want to copy, then paste Ctrl + V in Adobe XD.

The snippet will be pasted into the Adobe XD as a bitmap image so it's very likely you will want to rework it to a vector shape later, however, this trick is focused on speed and capturing the idea as fast as possible so the fact you have just a bitmap shouldn't be a big deal.
