The difference:
Embedded images are part of the email. A recipient has a copy of the image once they have received the message. Some clients/services show it as part of the message and also attached to the message, for ease of download.
Linked images display in an email message during compose and reading, but because they are not part of the email, they can only be viewed as long as the image exists at the linked location. If the sender deletes the image from the web location, the image will no longer appear when the recipient opens that email again. Of course, they have the option of downloading the image while they can see it.

Ah - super - that 's right - thanks for the clarification - past results for me had been a mixed bag until this method worked for sure all the time. Actually I had even tried dragging images (from the web, on a new browser instance) and it did work, but not always. Oh, it was also reported by receivers that the image was missing, probably because jpeg attachments were disabled in their email (corporate) services, tho downloads from the web are OK, so that is why I figured that second method was more reliable.
