Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To attach an image to a card, you need to either upload it from local storage or link it from nextcloud files.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have a third option to specify a URL to a file or image, and this is uploaded and stored.

This would especially be handy to quickly point a card to an image url and have that associated with the card, without having to first download and store the image in nextcloud and thereafter use it!

thanks !

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing local-storage and Nextcloud-file attachment flows for cards. Define how a user supplies a file URL, how the file is fetched and stored, and how the resulting attachment is associated with the card. Done means a card can accept a URL as a third attachment option and retain the fetched file.
