### Operating system

Windows

### Joplin version

3.6.13

### What issue do you have?

Is it in any way possible with Joplin (Desktop), including plugins, to have "live" web images that refresh/update periodically like a stock chart?

Example image URL:  
[https://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=TSLA&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&i=t3104937815c&r=1779173842240](https://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=TSLA&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&i=t3104937815c&r=1779173842240)

That link can be bookmarked and refreshed, and the image will be updated with new information/stats.

The only way I've found to add the image URL as an image embed is to use the "Attach file" button, paste the URL into the "File name:" field and "Open". The image gets downloaded into local "resources" but never again gets refreshed/updated. Is it possible to get the image to refresh/update?

TY
