Given a URL to an image, how can I easily insert images into cells into Google Sheets and then have the full images viewable on hover?
I'll be doing this on the fly with many images throughout the day, so the fewer clicks, the better.
I have tried Chrome extensions like ImageHover and Imagus, but neither seem to work with either inline or linked images within cells.
you can insert URL into a cell in this or similar format https://i.stack.imgur.com/GV4QM.png
and then hover over hovered link
or you can insert an image into a cell and make it active:
=HYPERLINK("https://i.imgur.com/dcAoUzp.jpg",IMAGE("https://i.imgur.com/dcAoUzp.jpg",4,90,160))
and then hover over a hovered link (notice the mouse cursor)

I am able to insert links and get the image to pop up, however, when I have multiple links to images in one spreadsheet the add-on will show the image associated with the first link I hover over. When I hover over different links to different images, it keeps showing the first image. I am using this on a plant database, where I can hover over each plant and show an image of it. I still have not gotten it to properly show, but it's so close!
