I just updated the formatting stream (https://campaign-logger.com/#/stream/434895b46f9e47d29e3f0d9518e32c7e) and you can see the results directly in this entry: https://campaign-logger.com/#/shared/73113f00583e464c81f1b8b235fb9532
I've just come back to using CL after a time away. I used your examples, using a link to my google drive:
{"https://drive.google.com/open?id=14CHOv2VCT8tj0QxzqygXDL98Y0Lsv45Z"|Normal Key|img}

And while the link works (thanks for that) it does not show up in the log entry. Do I have the syntax wrong?

There are two things going on here.

The first is you need to share the image for embedding publicly on the web:
https://confluence.biola.edu/display/itservices/How+to+Embed+Images+from+Google+Drive+in+a+Web+Page

However, I've done that with a test image and it's still not working.

@JochenL can someone check into this a see if it's a CL thing or a Google thing?

Here's are the patterns I've tested with a properly shared image off my Google Drive:
Code:
{"https://drive.google.com/open?id=14CHOv2VCT8tj0QxzqygXDL98Y0Lsv45Z"|Normal Key|img}
{"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0B2H_NKUTapWhVE9ieTZaRWdOMUU"|Johnn Test|img}
{"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2H_NKUTapWhVE9ieTZaRWdOMUU"|Johnn Test|img}
