And during the transfer from that browser window into Affinity? Did it go through the file system, or through the clipboard? Or is there some other data transfer mechanism involved with drag/drop? The key point is that unless something put it into the file system, it can't end up Linked in the Affinity application.

I would guess a pointer to the web page. Where is the stuff on this webpage that you are viewing? You do not have a copy of my avatar on your system.

But where is it while you're dragging it? If it's not in the file system at that point, there's no way for the Affinity application to Link to it. It would have to Embed it. It does not exist as a separate file anywhere in the file system during the drag; it is just an element of the open web page, stored wherever that browser puts those elements. I'm just guessing but I think that probably is in the browser's data cache. Regardless, the main point here is that the Mac Affinity apps ignore the image placement policy & always embed the image. I don't know if that is the same for Windows, but I gather it is not.

On Mac, the dragged file may not exist as a file in the file system, and if that's true then there is nothing to link to, and therefore the application must embed the file.

When I drag and drop an image from a browser into Affinity Designer, it just pops in a text box with the link. Sorry, I didn't read the whole conversation.

It never does that for me, using Firefox on Windows 10. What browser and what version of Windows are you using?
