Title describes what I want but also here are some web app screenshots:

The Image editor for all the types under 'Images' has a wonderful selector that includes a 'Set Image from URL' option:

The Backdrops section only allows for adding images by file upload:

I'd like to add Backdrops from URLs please. :)

Technically you select browser and enter the url will do the exact same thing, as that is how it worked in previous design.

But yes backdrops should have the same menu options as the test of the image types.

I can't figure out how to do whatever you're describing here.

Ah ok, that looks to depend on the OS file browser happening to support it.

Available on Windows Explorer, not on Ubuntu's Files.

All the image types let you add an image from a URL, with the exception of backdrops, which must be set from a local file. Is there a reason for this?

All images types, except Backdrops, allow uploading image from a URL:

Please can you add the same options to Backdrops.

Many Thanks

Another vote for adding URL for backdrop (I also have a MAC).

I was thinking that you don't even need a dropdown menu.  You could just have 4 icons across the bottom of each box: Search (magnifying glass), Upload (+ in a circle), URL (chain links) and Trash (trash can).  Just make the background box equivalent to the other boxes.

It looks like this does currently exist for backdrops as well, but you can only use it if you already have a backdrop to long-press/right click on.

If you don't already have a backdrop, you have to use the search, or '+' icon to add one which then depends on the filebrowser supporting links as originally stated back in 2021.

We just need a placeholder card to click on just like the other image sections:

Yeah, but that doesn't really solve the issue. It works only if you have a backdrop in the first place. 
"We just need a placeholder card to click on just like the other image sections:" - THIS. This is what's needed.

Yes Backdrops needs a empty place holder like all the other image types to have all the same menu options.
