It would be really nice to be able to have most of Foundry's images it comes with be included in the images database as external references, this would give a good foundation for users to tag/search off of.

However, due to how many files Foundry ships with by default, this should be something that prompts the user when they load in or has a button in the sidebar tab that pulls the data in from somewhere (possibly a release asset?)

This might need to be a slightly more generic "URL Import" feature unless we default all installs to having the Foundry tokens

Foundry's images have been added to the repository, this will be done via a more generic import method so that only the users who care about Foundry's files can add them into the database (considering how large the db import is)

While working on the import for this it's surfaced that there isn't really a good way for me to allow importing from a remote URL due to CORS interceptions, importing from a URL has been deprioritized in favour of just starting the module with the Foundry data in the release asset.
