Displaying media from a URL in Business Media

Hi

Posting here in case I am missing something obvious.
The previous docs for the very nice Business Media (volkovlabs-image-panel) advertise calling the media from a URL and it looks like this from this image of an earlier UI

Version 6.1.0 a shown here is different.

It also shows the text “Defines priority to display Base64 encoded and URL media sources.” , but I cannot find where to add a URL.

Or is there actually no URL direct reference and we have to put the media Base64 encoded in a db?

Just checking, before going the extra nine yards to maintain media in the db.

I guess that we could also use a data source like the infinity json plugin. This could fetch a media stream from the REST server.
If so, then it would be super convenient.
