Link images in MS Word (like in Adobe Indesign)

I am looking for a way to show images (.png or .jpg) by a link (not embedding the image in the file) with a Microsoft Word document. I want to link to images on my drive just as is possible in Adobe InDesign.
Images refer to high-resolution bitmaps, for example 8K png files. Currently, those are too big to handle them efficiently in word (large .doc files, long copy-pasting).
Linking means both connecting to a file (refreshing if it changes) and displaying it inside the Word document as if it was embedded.
Perhaps there is an addin for that?

Thanks, I meant high-resolution images, not icons.

Thanks one more time - it's also about displaying it inside the document, not just directing to the source.

That would be great, I saw that OLE should be supported, but I couldn't get it to work. When trying to insert .png file it came up only as file icon. When trying to insert .pdf it got embedded, not linked.
