 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to link to an external url image instead of importing to library?
 * Thanks.

 * Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to directly link to an external image. However,
   when adding an image to an Image Set, you can use that external URL to import
   the image directly into your Library/Image Set.
