Describe the Feature you'd like

The image view currently doesn't work with http URLs; it seems like it always tries to navigate to the image from the root directory of your vault. Obsidian itself supports showing remote images (![](https://example.com/image.png)), and I use this a lot so being able to do it with meta bind would be helpful.

from a glance at the code it seems like there would be need to be an MDLinkOrUrlList parser, right now the link list parser can only parse local paths. (here) Although there is a linkOrUrl parser, so maybe just running IsUrl on it and then passing it to P_MDLink if it isn't one might work. I'm not completely sure how this parsing library works, but it looks to me like the P_MDLinkList parser separates the list into strings first and then passes them, so I think it could work.

If i have time to set up a development environment sometime I might try to look at it but no promises.
