At the moment, the templates use transclusion for the icon: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title.tid#L14 https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/TagTemplate.tid#L9 We could switch it to use the <$image> widget instead, which does understand how to embed remote image URIs. However, the <$image> widget can't display images that are actually wikitext tiddlers containing SVG tags (eg, $:/core/images/delete-button). So, as things stand we have a tradeoff: * Stick with transclusion, allowing us to use images and wikitext images * Switch to the image widget, losing the ability to use wikitext images There is a workaround, though: create a "stub" tiddler representing the remote image, with the text containing a reference to the remote image (eg `[img[http://blah.com/blah.jpg]]`. If you give it the tag $:/tags/Image then it will be recognised by the tag manager as an image and included in the image dropdowns.
