Currently it is only possible to add images to shopping experience layouts when the those files are uploaded in Shopwares Media Folder. How ever, when external systems like PIMs are used for the product data management, including pictures, it would be convinient to just add a the image URL from the external system into the shopping experience image block. This could look simular to how Youtube and Vimeo videos are integrated, where you also simply add the URL to the file.

This is technically already possible with an HTML element, but since not everyone is familiar with working with HTML, it would be more user friendly to add this option to the configuration of Image Elements.
