Add direct URLs to the art library

I'm using an online random dungeon generator to make a few large scale dungeons (donjon.bin.sh). It's a great tool and can generate massive dungeons. The image it gives you to download and print can be quite large. So when I try to upload said map to my art library it looks like it would take quite a long time and take up quite a large chunk of my allotted space. I can however get the direct URL to this image. My idea is to either add another field to the art library tab for entering in image URLs, or have the search engine recognize URLs and pull up the image located their. Any thoughts?
Use imaging software like Gimp (free) to resize your image (or reduce quality) so it takes up less space. It's a good idea to resize maps, tokens, pics and everything else so you don't max out your Roll20 storage so quickly. I won't upload a map unless I've resized it or reduced it to be no more than 100k.
Being able to point to URLs of our choice easily for both graphics and audio resources is something on my wish list.

I think we should all, web optimize your images as much as you can but I agree URL linked assets is a good way to go for those that have web space, I think quite a few Gm have plenty of space on their web domains, homepages etc and it would be great to use assets from there i.e. sounds and large background one piece maps, and keep my Roll20 quota 100MB ATM for the vector tokens and props etc
