How to link photos uploaded in Google Photos?

I'm debating uploading some of family tree pictures to Google Photos.  It gives you the ability to share albums, provide links to individual photos, and other options.

Is there a way I can link the photos from Google Photos into my GenoPro file?  Or do they all have to be on my computer?

I tried pasting the link Google Photos gave me into the Picture Location field.  Do I need to change it somehow so it knows to look on the Internet vs my hard drive?

Pictures can be hosted on the web and and accessed via http/https.  Unfortunately the link provided by Google Photos results in a web page in which the image is displayed and not a link to the image itself.

There are work-arounds for this, see for example https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/92777/how-to-get-the-direct-link-to-an-image-in-my-google-photos/137631#137631

The Chrome Extension mentioned there Google Photos Direct Link also seems to work.

Thank you!  I'll give this a try this weekend.

Can I use the direct links provided by Google Photos, or do I need to make any changes to the links for them to work properly in GenoPro?
Thanks in advance!

To create a hyerlink on an indivdual, right-click on the indivdual, and select New Hyprlink. You can choose to hyprlink the indivdual to an existing Genopro.

In this example, we used a hyprlink on Jana so that she would be "copied" to the  Genopro in which we can develop.
