The post suggests that it would be beneficial to allow users to specify an image source, rather than just using an uploaded image for the background-image property. This would enable the use of images from APIs or existing image sources. Community members discuss this idea, with some suggesting it could be a useful feature and others noting that using regular images with object-position and object-fit properties may be a better approach than background images. The community members also discuss the potential for optimizing image loading and the need for a code input field to allow binding variables, similar to the gradient feature.
Currently, we must use an uploaded image for background-image property. I think it makes sense to give users the option to specify an image src, that way we can include images from API within collections or use images we already have uploaded to a bucket / CDN / etc...
