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


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.
