Currently in a rich editor, you can use HTML '\<IMG\> for a URL hosted image to appear in the rich editor, you see the image render and appear.

Is there a way for this image to render directly on the object record somewhere, without the need for a custom card being created by custom code using the API?

I have an image render field at the moment, it takes a smart property img link thats added to each profile, and created the \<img requirements in the rich text property and turns it into the rendered image. In the reocrd, it only takes a single click on the property to see the image, but it would be nice if perhaps in the middle column a custom image card could be rendered without having to create a custom coded card.

Hi @SteveMarshall,

No, this would require creating a custom card.

Best regards!
