If you want to link to images outside your vault, you have to use an external link, and I think only absolute paths are supported as of now. Basic formatting syntax - Obsidian Help

For filesystem links use ![link name](file:///path/to/your/image.png)

If you alt-drag an image on to Obsidian, it should make the link automatically for you.
