We want to upload via the Multiple Files Picker and then split the URL’s into separate columns to display as individual images and links.

The image carousel and links component doesn’t achieve the usability we need.

You should be able to use a Single Value column to pick items out of an array.

Using from start and then the number of the file in the array?  
Doesn’t seem to work for us.

The the first one should be 0 from the start. The second should be 1 from the start, etc.
