I have understand the link vs image deal (other ongoing thread.)
Not copied from the worldwide wonderful whacky web, a local file. Opened in whatever viewer or photo app, copy/paste.
But to your point:
1) no ¡°View Source" on my menu ?(iPhone)
2) Is there a way to ¡°force¡± displaying a iNet photo link as an an image? ?Some formatting of the link that I¡¯m ignorant of? ?Whenever I paste a link to an online pic, it simply shows up as a link, not the image.
3) does that reduce used storage space? ?(Confirming an obvious answer) ?Seems the way to go if confident the image/link is unlikely to get wiped off the?wwww.?
4). Can I paste a link (showing as an image not link) to a gio pic? Rather than uploading another pic? (reduce precious space used up.)

Copying something from a web site generally puts a link on your clipboard, not the image.
If you're not convinced of this, below is a photo from Facebook (I right-clicked it, selected Copy Image from the Chrome popup menu, and pasted directly into this message). Note how the image has not been resized to 640px in the longest dimension, as it would be if it were really uploaded to groups.io. You won't find this image in the Emailed Photos folder, either.
Now select "View Source" from the More menu at bottom right. You should see something like this where the image is located:?<img src="https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...(AND SO ON)" alt="Image may contain: sky, night, cloud, outdoor and nature" />
This is a link to the original image. If I subsequently delete that image from Facebook the photo will go missing from the message archive, too.
Hope this helps,
Bruce
