No a URL can't be a texture in vanilla opensim, it is an image in the 
end. And there can't be "no end", the implementation is there at the end 
of the chain, otherwise it wouldn't do anything. In visual studio at 
least it's quite easy to rightclick -> go to definition.

In ModRex the texture can be/have a URL too (mediaurl), that the client 
fetches and uses as a texture, but that's not related to this.

It would be helpful for others to see the source, if you can 
permission/legalwise put it on-line somewhere and post a link here. You 
showed it yesterday on irc and I didn't see anything wrong with it, but 
I know quite little about Opensim asset system internals (only added the 
rexSetMediaURL scripting method 1,5years ago which had to create assets 
etc. but don't recall much and things have perhaps changed since too).

AFAIK it doesn't have to be in any inventory to show.
