How to include externally hosted images into a gallery block

You can used this plugin Photonic for your requirement

Photonic doesn’t just cover Google Photos – it allows you to add images from a range of services.

Like the previous plugin, you’ll need to create API keys and authenticate with your Gooogle account in order to use it.

Once you do, you are ready to add a gallery.

As with the previous plugin, the photos are not added to your Media Library.
