Can you hide gallery pictures yet still use them?

Hi there!
So... I like to write guides from time to time and I need illustrations for that. I quickly discovered the "Gallery visibility" setting on the Misc tab but .. if you disable that you can't access your image at all anymore.
Is there some way to upload an image and still use it in posts like this one but without it invading the main gallery page?
Reason I ask: some image websites allow you to keep your images secret so that they don't get propagated, but are still accessibly with a (semi) private link. IN other words: a direct link.
See... I really love this place, and that means I also try to think "outside the box". I can well imagine some people not enjoying my weird "not sexual at all" pics and then to add insult to injury: they don't even get to vote nor comment (I disable as much as possible).
So I suppose my 2nd "semi question": could this be an issue or am I overthinking all of this?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

There is no way for general members to add images to forum posts without them still showing in the main gallery if you are adding a gallery image. The other way you can add an image is to link it from a file share site using the Insert/Edit Image or Media tool. RangerRabbit

So... this is an area I'm having difficulty with, linking to offsite images, I just don't seem to have luck with it, all I get is a broken thumbnail when I try this. Is there a step by step tutorial on how to do this or is firefox a bad browser to try and do this?

Hey! I recently figured this out - kinda. On the New Art thread by SultryEros I figured out that if you click the 'Post Reply' instead of 'Quick Reply' button there's an option to 'Attach files to this post?' It lets you upload pictures into the post without directly linking them in your gallery. For reference, I've attached a picture below this one. One I'm proud of (and one of my earliest works) but that didn't quite fit the 'rotica theme. It won't show up in your gallery, which can make it hard to find later, but it should work wonders if you're doing a tutorial. Plus, for whatever reason, it seems to allow larger uploads than you can do in your gallery! Hope that helps! Bumper2 attached the following image(s):
