presenting an interface that includes an option to assign a second media item to the data object, in response to the generating the data object at the client device;

receiving a selection of the second media item through the interface;

assigning an address to the second media item to the data object, the address to the second media item identifying a location to access the second media item;

causing display of a presentation of the first media item within the interface, the presentation including a graphical icon representative of the second media item;

receiving an input that selects the graphical icon representative of the second media item;

retrieving the second media item from the location identified by the address in response to the receiving the input that selects the graphical icon representative of the second media item; and

causing display of the second media item at a position within the presentation of the first media item within the interface in response to the retrieving the second media item.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first media item includes a picture or a video.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second media item includes a web page or a social media post.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions for generating the data object that includes the first media item at the client device includes:

capturing an image at the client device.

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:

generating a data object that includes a first media item at a client device;

presenting an interface that includes an option to assign a second media item to the data object, in response to the generating the data object at the client device;

receiving a selection of the second media item through the interface;

assigning an address to the second media item to the data object, the address to the second media item identifying a location to access the second media item;

causing display of a presentation of the first media item within the interface, the presentation including a graphical icon representative of the second media item;

receiving an input that selects the graphical icon representative of the second media item;

retrieving the second media item from the location identified by the address in response to the receiving the input that selects the graphical icon representative of the second media item; and

causing display of the second media item at a position within the presentation of the first media item within the interface in response to the retrieving the second media item.
