The way to do that in Inkscape is to set a "Clip" to the embedded bitmap.

After embedding a bitmap image we can create another object to define the clip path:

Any object can be used for clipping. To clip from several objects we need to group them first.



The clip can be released with Object > Clip > Release to reveal the bitmap and the clipping object again.
