This extension allows getting images from the wiki where the WikiBase Repository is installed. Nevertheless I think it would be useful to be able to get images from another wiki that is neither Commons, nor the local Repository. For instance, in my case, I have a MW instance acting as a Repository, and a separate MW instance with Wikibase Client: I would like to reference images in the Repo instance, but images are actually at the Client one.

Ideally, it should be possible to setup the source wiki somewhere, I assume it should be enough to have the API endpoint of a remote wiki to obtain images' information.

If any of the extension programmer could point in the right direction, I would be willing to work on this modification by myself for my own purpose and eventually release the modified code.

Thanks
