Hi Kenn,

What a neat idea. Never thought to do that.

For example I have a site www.mycrap.com where I may wish to use the logo in a 
document.

Open the site in Internet Explorer
Right click on image
Select Properties
Highlight and copy URL information
In Writer select  Insert -> Picture -> File
Paste the URL into the File name field
Tick the Link option
Click Open

There is the image in the document.

Thanks for the tip. It may come in very useful.

Regards,
