Comment (by dd32):

 If someone wants to whip up a lightweight plugin for this, happy to see
 that done :) (Either as a plugin on w.org/plugins, or stand alone for
 wporg).

 As I said on Slack:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1765856008439419?thread_ts=1765855859.923399&cid=C02RP4WU5
 > Here’s an example of what I was thinking of doing.. does anyone have any
 thoughts on a better way to do it? I’m not really great at editor
 enhancements, but I’m sure I could force a CSS style in to make
 externally-loaded images look ugly ''in the editor'' :)
