Original file path for images (more source folders)

Feature Request

There is one feature I'd love you to look into which would be allowing for images to be embedded from current local file paths. For instance, I use Eagle to manage all the images on my computer and rather than using up more of my cloud storage to duplicate the image into the visualOS folder, I'd love if it could use the original local file path.

    This is a great idea. That you can either link or embed.

    Worth exploring how to get it right.

    Does the app ask what you want when you paste? Or do you embed when you paste and, if you want to link, you have a different process by which you point the app to a folder and it grabs everything or a selection of the folder’s contents? What happens when you drag an image onto the canvas?

    You should probably figure out how to make it consistent with the way external markdown files work. Right now, dragging a markdown file onto the canvas will create a duplicate in visualOS’s workspace folder. Should that be the right behavior?

    Is this perhaps a workspace setting that affects everything you add? Or should it be a setting for each whiteboard maybe?
