Describe the feature you'd like

I would like to add the functionality of uploading images to a third-party image hosting service, such as integrating with PicGo in Typora to use Gitee, Git, or OSS image hosting. This feature would be beneficial in scenarios where I need to upload large files or a large number of images, as it would help save server resources. Additionally, it would allow for easy migration to a new server while still being able to view the images properly in client programs like Typora. Please provide support for this feature

Thanks for the request @o-zero-o.

For these kinds of cases, our option to use S3 storage for images sounds like it would suit well.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be too keen to adding additional options/standards here and adding maintenance complexity since there's been little other demand for this kind of feature.
