Re: can somehow link external image to point
Yes, it would be easy to make such plugin with the new features introduced in version 7.2.
Since objects can now be selected from the 3D view, a custom selection handler can be used to read the link from a custom property and take appropriate actions. Opening the URL in a new window would be trivial, but with some effort it could automatically download the image, import it as texture, and add a textured box at the proper location to show the image in the 3D view as a sort of augmented reality experience. The URL could be a web link, a local file on disk, or even a texture embedded in the model for max portability.
