DPI is a printer setting. A linked image has no inherent DPI metadata.

Hi Doug, I know but working for the web it's better to have the info in dpi. Adobe Indesign displays link data in dpi and is much more practical. Anyway I understand that it is not possible 😞

Thanks for your time and your interest

No, it's not.

The web has no business whatsoever with dpi. dpi is about dots printed on a substrate. The web is presented on a screen. And this is InDesign
