I reckon you could still embed them and then just reference them as appropriate but forgetting that, if you clickn drag an image control onto a report, you'll get a you-beaut wizard that let's you specify a web based image. Enter your URL and get the image validated and away you go!
Just watch out fi you have a proxy and the image is outside of the domain (ie have to traverse proxy). @Work we have a proxy that requires authentication on every 'transmission' and there doesn't appear to be a way to indicate you want to do that to grab an image.

Quick note on your original post, after you finish designing your report use VS to open the rdl and do a search (either for the DS name or for the element <datasourcereference>. Change it to reference the shared DS as per it's location in the RS catalog. You can use either absolute or relative referencing. My simple sample is below. I haven't tried publishing this thru VS but using the uplod functionslity within ReportManaer it work a treat.
<DataSources>
<DataSource Name="msdb">
<DataSourceReference>/test/msdb</DataSourceReference>
</DataSource>
</DataSources>
Cheers,
Steve.
