Allow embedding media from foreign repositories (Commons) with local-conflicting names

Description

Author: yonatanh

Description:
Something like [[commons-Image:]] would be useful. That is, if this isn't made obsolete by preventing the creation of such clashes. The ability to upload files locally whose names clash with a file on commons could be restricted to the admin group only so admins would still be able to upload images like Image:Wiki.png but other than that is there any use for regular users to be able to upload files with clashing names?

[[commons:Image:]] ?

Already have this restriction?

Reopening, since [[commons:Image:]] shows link instead of image.
