1. Create a new Link Image Field or convert an existing Image field to a Link Image Field
2. Notice that if you have the filefield sources module installed, you cannot choose an alternate file picker.

expected: User can choose an alternative file picker such as IMCE to browse the server for an image

This would be great, especially to be able to use tokens for custom file paths.

I managed to do this by changing in Filefield source module.
In line:60 of filefield_sources.module add 'linkimagefield_widget' to the array().

/**
 * Implements hook_filefield_sources_widgets().
 *
 * This returns a list of widgets that are compatible with FileField Sources.
 */
function filefield_sources_filefield_sources_widgets() {
  return array('filefield_widget', 'imagefield_widget', 'linkimagefield_widget');
}

Well found!

Better yet, add this either in the linkimagefield.module file, or better yet into your own custom module so that you're not messing about with the filefield Sources code (and making your life harder when it comes time to upgrade).

If you implement the available hook, you can just add your own widgets to the filefield Sources list.

Put this in linkimagefield.module, or create your own module and add it in there.

/**                                                                                                                                                                            * Implement hook_filefield_sources_widgets().      
  *                                
  * This returns a list of widgets that are compatible with FileField Sources.
  */
function linkimagefield_filefield_sources_widgets() {
         return array('linkimagefield_widget');
}

Remember to enable your custom module if you used one, and then edit your linkimagefield CCK field to enable other filefield sources.

Let's get that patch committed, and also this patch, which is the same thing, but for Drupal 7.
