thanks. I'll just drag it over. Seems stupid though to have to do that. Seems Apple would just ask me to import the complete file versus linking to the image and be done with it. Very small file. Not sure the logic.

You can’t. Media needs to be stored locally.

If the image is in your Photos library you might be able to access it from the Photos browser. The media had to be stored locally.

The cloud can’t come close to playing multiple streams of video and audio in real time.
