   Hi,
   I would like to use the new feature called Post thumbnail, see
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_post_thumbnail
   BUT use an offsite URL of an image WITHOUT it being copied/uploaded/etc...
   When I use the Add Thumbnail Subpanel, I would like to use the From URL tab, but this tab doesn't offer the Use as Thumbnail option.
   I really would like to use this new feature that is dedicated to relating a thumbnail to a post, which is conceptually exactly what I need rather than some workaround. Is there someway I can add an offsite URL instead of an uploaded image as a thumbnail?
   I saw the_post_thumbnail calls wp_get_attachment_image , so I guess not :(
