Description
Some files you may not want to keep a copy, but still maintain the thumbnail, tags, and urls.
Please consider a way (perhaps an alternative file service to trash when multiple local file services become available) that does not store the full file, only keeping the thumbnail and other properties. But still make the thumbail viewable and it able to come up in searches that exclude trash.
The idea is something like a bookmark with thumbnail that you can tag and store alternate URLS for, but you don't want to store a local copy.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First map the existing trash, thumbnail, tag, URL, and search behavior, then define how a non-local-copy item should be represented and what searches excluding trash should return; completion would require an agreed design and tests for those behaviors.
