Either I misunderstood that or it is not working properly.
Experimenting a bit indicates that calibre inserts the image as a URL pointing at the original image. This means that the original image must be visible to clients that show the comments. If the image is somewhere on the web then you will be able see it. If it is in a file on your computer than you won't.

IIRC calibre does some processing when creating book jackets to embed local images into the book so that they display in the jacket. This processing doesn't help CC because the images aren't in the metadata for the book.
