Comment (by Fab1en):
I played a bit with this, and faced an issue : the "Insert into Post"
action button is not available as long as no attachment is selected in the
Library. That seams logical : when the other tab "Upload File" is used,
the result is to add a new attachment in the Library and select it.
So here is what I propose : after having inserted an URL in this "From
URL" tab, why not creating a new attachment linking to that new URL
without referencing an actual file in the uploads directory ? That would
allow to represent a YouTube Video with a Video type attachment, and save
it for future use. Thanks to MediaElementJS YouTube support, the video
could also be played via the Media menu. That would require some tweaks
here and there to bypass automatic attachment URL generation (like in
`wp_get_attachment_url`) and display things correctly everywhere.
