Default Linking image to record

Hello all. I am trying to set up a database for my photos. There will be
description, keywords, etc. I want users to be able to browse by category,
etc. I cannot find a way to link the record to an external image. I put
location into the field i have named "image", but in the report all i get is
the url, and NOT the image. I understand that tables cannot show images, but
I want the reports to show them.
Any ideas of how to proceed from here?

Thanks in advance to all those who are going to help.
