Instead of uploading images, also support providing direct image link

[kausar007]

For example when we choose image in the item, then instead of asking to upload file. There should be 2 options, either upload file or paste a direct link to image such as https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Solar_eclipse_of_April_2024_from_Indianapolis.jpg/480px-Solar_eclipse_of_April_2024_from_Indianapolis.jpg

This will reduce storage utilization. The UI should load image only when item opened.

Hi, This would be useful for me too and should not be too difficult to implement: In my use case, I just populate the database using an external tool instead of the web interface, and I overwrite the database "image"/"video" fields with a path relative to the koillection installation (for instance: "/uploads/pictures/external/collection1/item%201.png", with the typical percent encoding), and it works.
