Is there a simple way to display an image which has been uploaded to another FANDOM wiki, without having to download that file and upload it to my own wiki?

I vaguely recall doing something like this, many years ago, when I was on Wikipedia, and we could use WikiMedia Commons images as if they had been uploaded to Wikipedia. There was a name for it, something to do with interwiki or something; sorry, I can't remember now.

What I want to achieve is to be able to use the images from an ILL -linked sister wiki without having to re-upload them first to the sister wiki. It would make sense if we could use the same repository of images, as the only thing different on the ILL-alternative site should be the textual content which has been translated. The images should still be the same in both languages!

EDIT: I remember now, it had something to do with $wgForeignFileRepos.
