All the data formats imglab supporting, don't embed image data in the labeled file but only labeling information. Hence, a user keeps all the images in a particular folder with the labeled file. If a user loads an image from a URL, he'll have to download the file eventually to feed it to some machine learning tool.

We would like to understand in what scenario it can be helpful to load an image from the URL.

I want to use it in Mechanical Turk, where images are loaded by a URL
