This Plugin allows to use an external image as Featured Image, this can be especially useful if you house your images in another location.
This Plugin is compatible with Nelio External Featured Image Metadata, so you can reuse your data in case you want to uninstall Nelio Plugin.

External URL Featured Image

It is what I was looking for: simplicity.

$external_image = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_dcms_eufi_img', true );

Works well for me

Use an external url image as Featured Image for your posts, pages, and other kind of post types.

Some Features
<ul>
<li>Process links for post contents, comment text, text widgets, or the whole page</li>
<li>Domain filtering:
<ul>
<li>You can specify which sub-domains of your website to consider local (all subdomains, no subdomain, or some)</li>
<li>You can specify which external domains to consider local</li>
<li>You can forbid certain external domains (e.g. pron.com or warez.com) and replace URLs linking to them with a URL of choice (useful for filtering links in visitors’ comments)</li>
<li>Wildcard support, e.g. <code>*.example.com</code>, <code>*.subdomain.example.com</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You can add <code>rel="external"</code>, <code>rel="nofollow"</code> or any custom relation tag you could think of to external links</li>
<li>You can specify CSS classes for both local and external links, as well as external image links</li>
<li>You can use provided CSS rules (an external icon is added to each external link) or define your own</li>
<li>Choose whether or not to open a completely new window for each external link</li>
<li>Choose between three ‘new window’ modes: <code>onclick</code> attribute, <code>target</code> attribute or jQuery</li>
<li>Add a prefix to external links. Example use would be a redirection page that warns your visitors about the danger of visiting external sites, e.g. <code>http://yourdomain.com/out?</code></li>
<li>WordPress Multi-site compatible</li>
<li>And more…</li>
</ul>
