A web image represents a link to a local file or remote url and a unique identifier (a GUID)
which allows the image to be identified in the image thumbnail cache.

 | ReferenceId |
A GUID which identifies the image for purposes of loading it from the cache.
|
| Url |
The source of the image. Either a local file path (of the form C:\...) or an http:// url.

Remarks
When an image specified by values in an IWebImage object needs to be loaded and
displayed on screen an attempt is made to first load the local thumbnail
using the ReferenceId. In this manner all images are loaded relatively quickly. If the
image cannot be found in the cache or the full original image needs to be displayed, the
Url will point to the source location.
