You can create a custom field and store the link in there if you don't want the image in the database.

Is there currently provision for a similar concept in JIWA?
The cleanest way to do this would be to have a custom table, which has 2 columns : InventoryID and the link. A plugin could display and allow edit of the values on a new tab in the inventory maintenance form. You might also want this plugin to add a route to the API to perform CRUD operations on the table for a given InventoryID - such that the CMS changes relating to images could easily be applied to the Jiwa system.
Or, you could come up with an inferred system - where your CDN is structured such that all images in a folder names the same Jiwa PartNo are the CDN images for that item - much simpler.
For instance, if your part was 1170, then a folder
https://CDN.com/ProductImages/1170 would contain all the images related to the product. This way you don't have to do anything in Jiwa at all - but it'd be pretty easy to create a plugin to show on a tab of the Jiwa inventory maintenance form the images in that CDN folder if desired.
