I think you’d need a plugin to override those behaviors.

Or have them upload elsewhere and link.

But I think there is a plugin or theme component that allows uploading images elsewhere like minio. Something like that might be what you want.

See [Azure Blob Storage Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/azure-blob-storage-plugin/79392) and [Video Upload to YouTube and Vimeo using Theme Component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/video-upload-to-youtube-and-vimeo-using-theme-component/170079) as examples. You’d need to decide where to host the images and write a similar theme component.
