Tableau has added support for Image URLs allowing you to load image assets from outside of Tableau, such as image storage buckets in the cloud or any URL-based image generation service such as Cloudinary.

Tableau Release notes
-------
Improve context recognition to help end-users better connect to and understand insights using Image Role. Image Role is a new field semantic that offers a scalable and automated way to bring image assets into Tableau. Tableau can now dynamically map images to links in your data and encode them as exportable row or column headers. This new capability allows you to manage image assets externally to prevent workbook sizes from becoming too large to maintain and share.
