Description

Is your Feature Request Related to a Problem?

I'm always frustrated when I want to use this plugin to view a mix of locally stored images and image URLs.

Describe the Feature you'd Like

I would love to be able to use the Image Suggester to add a URL instead of an image file. Maybe there could be a text field in the Suggester Modal to paste an URL in, which could then display the image before confirming it.

Additional Context

Right now I'm using a meta-bind-js-view monster that checks if the image field in frontmatter contains "http". If true, it then creates a dataviewjs code block that embeds the image. If false, it uses the meta-bind image suggester. It... sort of works, but it's not elegant.

Research direction

Start by locating the Image Suggester and its Suggester Modal, then trace how locally stored images are entered and previewed. Done means the modal accepts an image URL, displays its image preview, and confirms it alongside local image files.
