Cameraroll API that allows selection of web photos on Android

The latest version of Android 5.0 on Nexus devices do away with the 'gallery' app in favour of the 'photos' app.  The problem is that users want to be able to select any image and not just ones local to device.  The photos app actually blurs what is local vs cloud and you have to specifically navigate to 'on device'.  I have a feeling the Nexus 6 might be a pretty successful device and since I have apps that use the cameraroll api, I am worried about getting complaints of non loading images because the current cameraroll api fails.  Any one have a solution, an ANE?  I had a custom ANE for intent pushed images to my app but not one for picking images.  It would be awesome if cameraroll supported:

- cloud images from photos or other

- multiple image selection

Does anyone know if the failed selection via cameraroll api provides the content path back?  I might be able to do something if I get the content path.
